Posted in: 2009-2010 - Tale STG
Hey,
today we worked on a new subject which is often given in oral tests: Cigarettes.
We developped some arguments against and we stated some reasons why people start smoking. We saw how stupid it was to start and that the reasons were not grounded.
Here is what we said:
DO YOU SMOKE?
Arguments against:
My parents don't allow me.
I don't like the smell.
It's useless / I'm not interested in cigarettes.
It's bad for health.
It hurts people who don't smoke / passive smokers / secondhand smokers
It may provoke cancer.
Smokers often cough. [f]
When you smoke, you have a bad breath, your teeth become yellow, your skin / complexion is dull.
==> You can't date guys / girls easily.
Smoking is an addiction.
It's a drug.
==> Once you begin, it's difficult to quit.
So, why do people start smoking?
People start smoking because:
- they want to imitate their friends.
- they want to provoke their parents / disobey their parents / contradict their parents.
- they want to try a new experience for pleasure
- they want to lose weight / become thin.
- they feel stressed out and they want to relax / chill out.
However ,
To belong to a group of friends, it's better to have similar ideas and not attitudes.
It's a childish behaviour.
You can have pleasure with other things, it's a bad option.
A diet or sports are better solutions if you want to lose weight.
There are other ways to relax like yoga.
With the 2nd group, we had the help of Kirstie, our language scholar. Wasn't it fun?
HW: Finally I gave you this picture to present, describe, and comment for next time. It is the new French advertisement campaign against tobacco:
