Main body:

- Suggestion 1 and result: enough money, the state pension to be adequate for elderly
needs
- Suggestion 2 and result: access to the best health care available, elderly will have a
peace of mind
- Suggestion 3 and result: to try to stop the sadness and loneliness
- Suggestion 4 and result: to respect the elderly, to help and improve the society
Conclusion:
Summarise the whole ideas

2- d: Furthermore, if the prison sentences received for certain crimes were made
longer, the outcome would make criminals afraid of consequences of being caught.

3-c: If would certainly be a good idea if police patrols were increased in high crimes
areas, especially at night. This would improve the situation by discouraging criminals with
immediate police presence.

4-a: One final suggestion which would help to solve the problem of increased crime
might be to establish recreational facilities, such as sports centre. If this were to happen, the
efect would be to keep idle youths off streets and away from crime.

1. The environmental damage caused by factories is quite likely to become more

extensive if adequate measures are not imposed.

2. If the number of patrols is reduced, it is highly probable that burglaries in the area
will increase.

3. The public is bound to react negatively to any decisions by the government to

increase taxes.

4. It is rather unlikely that the problem of overpopulation will be solved over the next
few decades.

1. Problem: famine; Solution: provide affected countries with financial aid

This would help those countries buy grain and equipment to plant and grow their own crops
for food.

2. Problem: spread of disease in poverty-stricken areas of the world; Solution: send

doctors from developed countries

Consequently the sick would have better access to adequate medicale care.

3. Problem: illnesses such as heart disease; Solution: take regular exercise and follow
a healthy diet

The result would be a reduction in the number of people suffering from preventable illnesses.

4. Problem: help the world’s rainforests; Solution: use more recycled paper

As a result we would not have to destroy huge areas of rainforests to produce paper.

Smoking is on the increase among young people

Among young people, the short-term health consequences of smoking include

respiratory and non respiratory effects, addiction to nicotine, and the associated risk of other
drug use. Long-term health consequences of youth smoking are reinforced by the fact that
most young people who smoke regularly continue to smoke throughout adulthood. Cigarette
smokers have a lower level of lung function than those persons who have never smoked.
Smoking reduces the rate of lung growth.

The most important way to stop the pandemic of smoking would be to stop the influx
of new smokers i.e. mainly teenagers. When youngsters aged 13–14 years try their first
cigarette, most of them are not aware of the possible risk they are exposed to. Among young
people, the short-term health consequences of smoking include respiratory and nonrespiratory
effects, addiction to nicotine, and the associated risk of other drug use. Long-term health
consequences of youth smoking is reinforced by the fact that most young people who smoke
regularly continue to smoke throughout adulthood.

There are several ways in which exercise may theoretically support a quit attempt: by
decreasing withdrawal symptoms, by increasing the overall feeling of well-being and by
decreasing the postcessation weight gain. The possible success of exercise programmes will,
among others, be dependent on the adherence to the programme. The potential benefits of
exercise programmes in smoking cessation, if effective, might be of special interest in low-
income countries that cannot afford the use of nicotine-replacement products or bupropion for
smoking cessation. Nonpharmacological approaches to smoking cessation may also be more
attractive to teenagers.
 In conclusion, dramatic increases in the proportion and intensity of smoking occurs
after the age of 18 years. Smoking behaviour among young people adults is distinct from both
youth and older adults, and warrants immediate attention from the public health community.
