Do you know all the effects that smoking causes? The majority of the people that smoke don’t think about the problems that it brings, so if you are a smoker, I suggest you to read this essay before getting some bad effects of smoking such as lung cancer, pulmonary emphysema, dirty teeth, bad breath, also, you can affect other people even if they don’t smoke.

Talking about health, one important effect and maybe the worst is the lung cancer. According to some studies, 70 percent of the smokers can be inclined to have lung cancer. Also, people who don’t smoke can get this disease too, because if they are or they live together with someone that smokes, and they inhales the smoke, they can be affected. Statistics say 8 of each 10 people die because they inhale the smoke from the people who have this addiction.

Smoking causes many diseases, and its effects usually produce difficulty to breath. This is because the lungs are polluted by the smoke, So this kind of illness is called pulmonary emphysema which is another mortal disease that in the long run appears when people smoke a lot. Like lung cancer, pulmonary emphysema doesn’t have a cure.

Other aspect that smoking affects is the physical appearance. When the person smokes a lot, his teeth begin to get dirty, they get a yellow color, and it brings bad breath as well. Also, the skin of smokers begins to get dry.

In conclusion, today smoking is a serious addiction because you can get some disease like lung cancer and pulmonary emphysema. Also, your physical appearance is affected too. But you’re not the only one affected people that live together with you could be affected too, even if they don’t smoke. So please, if you are a smoker, you should try to quit smoking, because then you will see the results.

GETTING MARRIED AT AN EARLY AGE (Cause-Effect)

Why do young people get married at an early age? We are always searching a partner to be together forever, and share the life, but some people search for it too young. There are many causes to get married at an early age, but this time I will only show you the most common ones.

The principal and most common cause is pregnancy. Most of the time when a couple has sexual relationships without any kind of protection is because they are too young and do not have much information about that. Families prefer to keep appearances, and they force them to get married.

Another cause is the presence of false expectations. It is that we always search security, protection, and confidence; and young people think that they will have those things in a marriage. The couple thinks that living together will be easy and they will have a good marriage. Many people also think that by having a marriage they could have a better life.

Finally, another cause can be a hasty marriage. The couple gets married without having enough knowledge about the other, and conflicts are created when living together. Or they find that it was not what they really expected in a couple.

Young people get married at an early age for many reasons and the most common are pregnancy, false expectations, and a hasty marriage. Exist more reasons, but those are the principal ones. Young couples should think better before doing that.

The causes of divorce (cause-effect essay)

Have you noticed that nowadays there are more divorces than in the past? It is because sometimes the couple takes a quickly decision before having a different life. There are three main causes of divorces: lack of communication, changing woman’s roles and young marriages.

The lack of communication is a common problem in the daily life. Unfortunately there are problems that avoid communication between the couple. Such as the job of both, sometimes the couple needs to work for having a better life. But the schedule is different and maybe the woman works in the morning and the man in the afternoon. Since the time that they live together is not enough, the couple cannot interchange their ideas, neither there is a confidence for trying to solve their problems. As a result, they get divorced.

The second important cause of divorces is the changing of women’s roles. In the past men had to earn money to afford the expenses of the family, and women only had to do the housework and she depended their husband. Nowadays this situation has changed, because of the equality between men and women, their roles are very similar, for example they share the roles such as cooking, cleaning. Washing, carrying the children and money. The last one is a clear example that women are independent because sometimes they have a better job for supporting their own living cost. Nevertheless, there are men that don’t want to accept the equality between men and women, furthermore many men are “machistas”, as a result they argue with their working wives and have problems that take them to the divorce.

Some young couples make the decision to get married when they are not prepared for supporting a marriage. Therefore, they have problems since the beginning such as economic, emotional and of experience. The couple don’t know how to solve the problems, and they have frequent arguments. In addition, a lot of times for avoiding problems, they conclude that is better to finish the relationship.

To conclude, before getting marriage, we have to think about all the things that imply being married. The cause of divorce are lamentable and we should try to consider them, for having a good relationship and avoid falling in the marriage.

Why do students drop out of school? (cause-effect essay)

Do you know why students drop out of school? Nowdays students usually drop out of school, to get a career. More than before job seekers are looking for people who have finished high school (at least). The fact that students drop out of school is caused for different reasons. There are three main causes why students drop out of school: they can't afford tuition, they prefer to work, and they fail the course.

One reason which students decide to drop out of school is because they don't have enough money to afford it. There are a lot of families that can't pay a college tuition even since high school, these families earn the minimum salary. In other circumstances are only able to pay college for one member of the family. Public universities are the cheapest universities, but not all students have a chance to get into the university, thus they cannot study.

When students get a good job, they prefer to attend their job, and for this reason they drop out of school. Usually they get a job while they are studying too. After a while, they find out that they prefer working instead of studying. It is difficult for them to leave their job because they need money. Sometimes they find out that they will have a better future by working than studying.

Another reason why students don't finish highschool is because they fail the course. Sometimes students have problems with some subjects, especially. Mathematics and English, so they fail the subject and as a consequence the whole course. They have the oportunity of taking the course again, but they prefer not to do it. I think students who don't want to study. As a result, they prefer working in easy jobs where they don't need to think.

Finally, students usually drop out of school for three main reasons: money, a good job, and academic failure. There are more cause but these are the most common in Mexico. I think to drop out of school is not a problem, well that depends on the cause. I hope this doesn't become a big problem in the future, and th percent of students who drop out of school can raduce.

“OBESITY’S CAUSES”

Do you know what the causes of obesity are? We never think about the causes of obesity, but they are very simple and common because it depends on the good habits that we have. If we count all the causes that provoke obesity maybe there are a lot, but we only need to focus on some of them. Because of emotional problems, bad eating, and the lack of exercise many people are overweight.

The first cause is concentrated on emotional problems because sometimes they eat a lot to forget the problems or to relieve a feeling of emptiness. Many overweight people eat all the things that they see on the refrigerator because they feel alone, they try to full their body with food because their soul feels so bad and they need attention. Overweight people do that action to attract people’s attention because they need that other people to help them.

Bad eating is the next cause that provokes obesity. Overweight people always eat junk food and it is the main cause why they increase their weight. They never eat fruits or vegetables, but always eat hamburgers, hotdogs, coca-cola, and others. This kind of food gives them more weight, in addition, gives them more problems. Overweight people eat because they need to eat, but it’s gluttony.

The final cause is the lack of exercise which is important to reduce weight. People most of the times spend hours watching TV and don’t do anything that help their health. The lack of exercise is common in overweight people due to they can’t play, run, and they get tired very fast. Even when they can’t do exercise, they need to try doing a little bit because it’s so important to lose weight.
We know that emotional problems, bad eating, and the lack of exercise are some of the causes of obesity. If we don’t pay attention to them, we will be exposed to many problems. This problem can be eradicated if we avoid all the things that cause obesity because we need to take care of our lives.

“MY TRIP TO MICHOACAN IN HIGH SCHOOL” (Narrative)

Have you ever had a funny trip with your classmates? Well, my high school’s classmates and I had this experience when we went to Michoacan. My counselor and I organized a good trip because we wanted to go out of our town and we enjoyed it very much. It was the most wondeful experience that we had ever had and we will always remember it.

The departure was very exciting because we were free. We began to choose a seat in the bus, we put our luggage, and the food too. Three teachers were with us, and one of them called attendance. We were completed, we got on the bus, said goodbye to our parents, and they wanted to cry. On the way, we didn’t sleep and the next day we were very tired because of that.

The first day that we were in Michoacan, we visited the cathedral and the zoo. First, we stopped on the cathedral. There were beautiful pictures and people told us that some parts of the cathedral were of gold. Then we went to the zoo, and there were a lot of animals. I liked the monkeys. At night we we went to “Patzcuaro” because we needed to find a hotel.

The next day we knew “Lago de Patzcuaro”, “Janitzoi”, and “Parque Nacional Uruapan”. We arrived to “Lago de Patzcuaro”, and we traveled by boat to “Janitzio” because is an island. There was a statue and a friend and I went up, and that was horrible. After that we went to the “Parque Nacional” and there was a lot of nature to admire. In the afternoon, my teachers were very tired, and decided to return to the hotel to rest.

The last day, we arrived to one lake and after that we did some things. We saw the big lake that was inmense. We took somo photos in different places, then we ate because we were hungry. We sang some songs, played some games, and we went up to the bus. On the road, we were sleeping because the trip was so tiring.

We arrived to Ojocaliente and our parents were very happy because they missed us. The next day at the school we talked with our teachers about the wonderful experience that we had lived. I hope that one day I will have another trip like the one I had, but with my university’s classmates.
