Smoking?

Smoking.  If anyone could hear me right now I'd be gagging at even thinking of smoking!  Personally speaking for myself and no-one else, I think smoking is disgusting.  Absolutely nauseating.  I can't even begin to describe how grim it is.  I am apologising in advance to anyone who smokes so... sorry, I guess? 

I cannot begin to get my head around why anybody would want to smoke or even vape.  The thought of putting all of those chemicals into your body multiple times a day - why? 

So you think you look cool.  Or even you want to do it for health and beauty aspects?  You know, the whole nicotine-stained fingers, maybe bright yellow teeth?  Yes!  That is super duper attractive.  Or if you're really trying hard, no teeth at all!  Amazing.  One downside, you might get a little bit of smelly breath, but don't worry, as you can just carry around gum to knock off that yummy tobacco stench.  Maybe you could even have nicotine gum for that extra little boost in between your hourly spaced cigarette breaks. 

You will now also have a craving for nicotine and will have to smoke at least a pack a day to even tickle your taste. 

As I said earlier, you might do it for health aspects.  The whole tar-filled lungs or getting more serious illnesses such as pneumonia, chronic asthma, or even getting lung or throat cancer, which on a serious note, could kill you...

It's not even just you who can enjoy the 'benefits' of smoking either.  It could be: 

  • your children, who go to school smelling of smoke
  • people on the street, walking behind you as you puff on your cigarette or vape pen, blowing plumes of smoke or cotton candy flavoured smoke into their faces.
I just don't understand how you don't know (or understand) how detrimental smoking can be to your health, or how nasty it is in general.

    This piece is good. There is a large use of statistics and facts, this makes the article more agreeable and it could also help to change a smokers mind. I like the use of emotive language and the use of mixed up formal and informal language and words. For example, words like grim and nauseating. This piece is good, well done.

    Ella,
    Agree - the use of emotive language is a powerful persuasive tool.

    This piece has used rhetorical questions, making people who smoke question themselves about why they do it. 'Maybe bright yellow teeth?' do people find that attractive? of course not, but if that's what they want to do then so be it! This piece of writing has also used opinions which makes the text more interesting.

    Yes - the rhetorical questions do get us thinking and engaging, don't they?

      Yes, I agree the emotive language is very powerful here. Well spotted.

We Should Get Rid of School Uniform

I hate a lot of things about the world: people going on their phones why I'm trying to talk to them, slow walkers, homework.  But today I'm going to speak about something that all children and even parents will agree with.  We should get rid of school uniform.  If we could change anything about schools, it should 100% be the uniform.  Children wake up every morning dreading having to wear that irritating, uncomfortable white shirt shirt with the strangling collar yet again.  It's a pain in the neck (quite literally!).  Even parents hat the thought of school uniform.  Every year you have to rush around making sure your children have all the correct uniform ready and worry that you have forgotten something.  Not only that, but it costs a lot of money to buy uniform.  My parents spent hundreds of pounds for mine and my three siblings' uniforms this year.  Not everyone has the money to do that.  This money could have been better spe...

An Animal's Worst Nightmare

As a child, there's nothing more exciting than hearing the phrase, "We're going to the zoo".  Even parents enjoy going because they get the chance to see animals they would never have seen otherwise.  However, as much as it is a pleasure for us, being in a zoo is an animal's worst nightmare. To start off with, keeping animals in cages is cruel.  They are supposed to have freedom and be in their natural environment.  In some zoos, there isn't enough room for them to roam, which will increase the animal's boredom.  This could lead to animal getting irritated and agitated.  An example of this is when you see lions pacing up and down after having children tap and bang on the glass enclosures.  These poor animals!  What did they do wrong in order for us to lock them up?  Personally for me, although I'm sure many of you will also agree, I would much rather see my siblings being kept in these cages - not these innocent, desperate animals. Anothe...

Ignoring The Inevitable

Imagine a world where everybody could see what was happening and change the disastrous future.   What if you could learn the obvious fate and change it for the better? Did You know that every second a football field of rain forest is lost - seven of them by time you’ve read this? Well now you do. You could donate, reach your fingers to the keyboard and select the amount, saving trees, animals, and plants ,supporting the villages around them. But you just don’t care. We all must not do so. We all must change and help. Another example of ignoring the inevitable is cutting down trees for Biomass energy, conservable, that can be used again.   What’s the problem? The dirty energy that is needed for this, and the energy that   is needed when the trees are not in full supply. The fauna that evacuates from their homes, having to leave their nests that are doomed to fall from a great height, cracking the eggs with a squelch and the offspring falling down wi...
