Smoking and Its Effects ‘Smoking poses a deadly threat to the well-being of our society. Research shows that 1 person dies from tobacco use every 6.5 seconds. Smokers usually pick up the habit in their teens and continue smoking for decades. They are likely to die 20 to 25 years earlier than non-smokers as a result. Smoking is the leading cause of fatal illnesses such as lung cancer and heart disease. Addiction to smoking also increases the risk of addiction to drugs. People who smoke are 8 times more likely to use marijuana and 22 times more likely to use cocaine. The physical appearance of people who smoke undergo undesirable changes. Smoking causes the skin to age prematurely, wrinkling around the eyes and lips. Smokers also experience teeth discoloration. Some may even lose all of their teeth.

Tourism is Malaysia’s third largest source of revenue. However, tourism on a big scale, if not properly managed, can destroy the environment. ‘A good option is to develop ecotourism. Ecotourism means activities that do not cause harm to the natural environment. These activities should actually enhance the tourists’ experience of the natural environment. Such activities would include nature photography, hiking, wildlife watching, mountain climbing, caving and scuba- diving. Malaysia is a suitable country for the development of ecotourism. It is rich in natural attractions such as beaches, islands, coral reefs, mangrove swamps, magnificent caves, a great variety of wildlife and the tallest mountain in Southeast Asia. Its tropical forest is known to be among the oldest in the world. It is also home to several animal species considered endangered like the tiger, tapir, and orang utan. It also contains nine per cent of the world’s bird species. In ecotourism, the tourist should see and experience the place as it is. The less the environment is changed, the more successful it is. The land should not be ‘developed’ but should instead be left in its natural state. Thus, it is not very costly to develop ecotourism. Ecotourism brings progress and prosperity to the rural areas of the country. Roads and airports would be built in those areas in order to bring the tourists there. Jobs would also be created. This is because the best jungle guides, bird guides, diving instructors and other ecotourist helpers are usually the local people of a particular area. For ecotourism to succeed, it must be systematically developed in a controlled manner. This is so that the environment does not change or become worse off due to ecotourism activities. ee a Scanned with CamScannerPractice 4 Read the text below.

You should never push and shove others in the queue, Neither should you overload your plate, which is a sign of greed.| 5 You may wish to give a token of thanks to your host.

For example, you should not give a Chinese host handkerchiefs, sandals or sharp objects as a gift. 6 ‘An open house usually has fixed hours. An open house hosted by a dignitary typically takes place at a community centre rather than his or her home. You should arrive on time. At an open house, plenty of food and drinks are served.
