Why Teens Smoke

Teens smoke for many reasons and often for the same reasons as adults do: to
cope with stress, to control their weight, as a social habit and to combat boredom. 
One of the biggest reasons teens start to smoke is peer influence: their friends
do it. Studies show that this is especially true for girls.

Today many young people smoke

Studies show one of the most important tools with teens is the parent and child
relationship. Parents should use their parental influence. Parents should know who
their kids hang out with. Parents must have high expectations for them, listen to them
and treat them with respect. The kids will hold themselves to higher standards too.
This is especially important if the parent smokeshimself.
There's clear evidence that tobacco companies target children in their
marketing. Some of the most effective are sports sponsorships - for example, boys are
twice as likely to smoke if they follow car racing. Movies too: the more kids sees their
favourite movie stars smoking on the screen, the more likely they'll try it themselves.
Some researchers think that tobacco advertising carries even more weight than peer
influence.
Finally, the main reason that kids smoke is that adults do. Smoking is seen as
adult behaviour and kids are always looking for ways to be more grown up.

Simple Present Exercise 4 : The verbs in the following text are not written in the
proper simple present forms. Correct them and underline them to improve this text.

The asset of a company (have) has three categories: tangible, intangible and
intellectual property. A healthy company (maintain) maintains a good
combination of all three.

Tangible Assets
Assets, such as buildings, vehicles and office equipment, that are not
consumed during the course of doing business (belong to) belong to tangible
assets. Time (depreciate) depreciates assets during the process of doing
business. Business people (consider) considers Plant, Property and Equipment
on the Balance Sheet high liquidity assets because they can easily be converted
to cash.

Intangible Assets
We (refer to) refer to assets with no physical form, such as a business'
reputation, company know-how, industry knowledge and name recognition, as
intangible assets. People (not list) does not list these assets on the balance
sheet, , but their intrinsic value (add to) adds to the credibility of the business
 Intellectual Property
Intellectual property (include) includes trademarks, patents, brand names,
logos, formulas, inventions and other creative communications. The company’s
legal employees (protect) protect them under copyright law from imitation and
infringement. The balance sheet (not include) does not include intellectual
property, but without the information intellectual property provides, a business
would not be nearly as profitable.

WRITING ACTIVITY

(minimum 2 journal entries per week), completed with the real picture. The topic of
the journal can be about somebody you know well enough, your pet, your best friend,
etc. Submit to your teacher every Friday.

Journal:
My Friendly Uncle
       
 It is the picture of my uncle. He is a very friendly person. I like him very much. He lives
 in Malang Regency. He is a diligent farmer. Every morning he always gets up early
and goes to the ricefields. He is a hard worker. He has three children. They are
studying in high schools. I call him “Uncle Zein”.

Uncle Zein is good at playing gamelan. He can also sing “tembang Jawa” (Javanese
traditional songs) very well. I enjoy his art performance. He is famous for his talent in
our village.

He is very outgoing but he is strict about Javanese traditional ethics in his family. He
teaches his children to speak “krama inggil” (high-level Javanese language) at home.
He wants to keep Javanese tradition although they are now living in global era.

Uncle Zein is also a visionary person. He wants his children to pursue their ideals. He
also wants to keep the farming in his village developing well so that it can support
the economy in the village. My uncle is a special person for me. I am proud of him.

SPEAKING ACTIVITY

One important part of a company is its logo. Through a logo, the company identifies
itself. But a logo, for many companies, is not only identification but it also has a
meaning. See the logo below. Your speaking activity task is to find a company logo
from the internet and print it on an A4 paper and make a conversation with your
classmate about it. Present it as the example below:
Jane:“Hello, Jack. I wanna tell you about an interesting logo of a
company.”
Jack: “What company?”

Jane: “This is a Federal Express logo. Notice a hidden symbol in

the Federal Express logo. See the 'arrow' that you can see
between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was introduced
to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the
positioning of the company.

In my opinion, it is a very creative logo. The company name

contains a hidden image, and the image has a powerful
meaning.”
