3-woodman第七次作文
154 We meet smokers everywhere, on street, in garden, on bus, even in school. And these smokers include not only the old,the youth,but also middle school students, and even pregnant women. It was reported recently that smokers make up one quarter of the world population. As smoking is never a good thing, to forbid smoking in public places should be a wise rule.
No smoking in public places contributes to protecting public health. Scientific research shows that smoking is not only a threat to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public, especially to women and children who are passive smokers. The poisonous gas issued from smoking is one of the major causes of cancer, pneumonia and heart attack. According to a study by the European Commission, passive smoking increases the risk of lung cancer and, as a result, leads to the death from the disease of an estimated 2000 non-smokers each year in European Union. What’s more, passive smoking, which is also a risk factor for acute and chronic respiratory disease, middle ear infection, and decreased lung function in infants, children, and adolescents, kills a further 20000 people annually in these countries.
Moreover, forbidding people to smoke in public places can avoidfire. Most fatal fires are caused by smokers who improperly dispose of butts and ashes, resulting in killing and injuring their colleagues, friends and strangers and also millions of dollars in property damage. As garages and workshops containhighly flammable materials such as thinners, gas, paints and industrial cleaners,smoking there might be really dangerous. The same case is in office building or school. Paper products and wooden furniture there are also combustible, thus smoking would easily lead to a serious fire disaster.
In addition, smoking ban in public places helpsmokers to quit the habit of smoking. Many smokers say that though they know smoking is harmful to their health and they have tried again and again to quit, it is really hard to persist. Perhaps it is not so effective to give up smoking merely relying on their willpower. With the ban on smoking in public places, smokers have to face the pressure of public opinion which might force them to smoke less. Also, it is not so convenient to go to a private area to smoke, thus they would be less likely to smoke.
In sum, in many public places and officebuildings, smoking should be prohibited. This will greatly improve public health, reduce the occurrences of fire disasters cause by smoking, and also do good to those who want to stop smoking.

The reading passage talks about a change in curriculum made by the Sociology Department of State University, resulting in adding two more required courses and accordingly decreasing two elective courses instead of the original three require courses and five elective courses. The lecture is an announcement related to this new rule. The speaker thinks that the plan made in the passage may not be as effective as it is supposed to be.
First, it is the university policy that department should not make any change to requirement after students have already started the program. The passage says that due to lack of expertise in some area, graduates from the Sociology Department are not well prepared for job. The best solution to this question is to change its curriculum by adding two more required courses. However, this plan disobeys the school policy. Thus, it is unfeasible.
Second, the new rule can only go into effect on students who newly entered the program. The passage says that the change will affect all students in the department immediately. In fact, students who have already started the program will complain to school. Due to the school policy, they can graduate with the original requirement curriculum. That is to say, the new plan does not work a change on them.
Third, since the department can’t force all students to follow its new rule, the department can only recommend its students to take the change curriculum rather than requiring them to do this. In other words, the department can merely encourage its students to take the two additional required courses.
