Song Analysis

NOT ON THE TEST

School exams have always been the terror of the students. The truth has to be, but there are different reasons than they are. This song gave me a kind of relaxation against the tests, since the main cause of our stress is because we do not study to resolve.

But this song does not refer to this fact, but sometimes we put ourselves more concerns. It is true that we do not sleep well before an exam, because we are only thinking "that's what will come in it?". The song is right when he says: “They'd never teach anything not on the test”. Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about the exams, which make them when we did not need so much stress. And at the end of the day just laughing at the situations that we created.

This song invites us to take this in stride as just a rating and not the end of the world. I know there are different tests and that not everyone give the same importance, but it is to reach these ends. After all are tests to measure our knowledge. And the exam week is usually the most stressful, but assured that this essay is not on the test. J

Smoking: a dangerous practice

Some illnesses are self-inflicted. Smoking, for instance, has been directly linked to 24 diseases, including lung cancer and cardiovascular problems. Every year, 4 million people in the world die of smoking-related illnesses. That figure is expected to rise to about 10 million by 2030. In the U.S., $60 billion is spent every year on treatment of people with conditions directly caused by smoking cigarettes.

Why smoke?

Why do people smoke?
Partly beacause of the effects of advertising thet promotes smoking as something sophisticated and fashionable.
Young people smoke mainly because their friends smoke, and they don't want to be different. Children of smokers tend to smoke as well.

Anti-smoking campaigns.

Tobacco used to be very fashionable, but now many people realize that it really is bad for you-smoking can shorten your life by five to eight years. One of the first anti-smoking campaigners was Britain's King James I (1603-1625). He has leaflets printed to tell people that smoking was a dangerous habit. There are now anti-smoking groups everywhere in the  world. If you care about people's health, join one now!
