---------- Question 1 ----------
 
You should spend about 
40
minutes on this task. 
Write about the following topic.
People in all modern societies use drugs, but today's youth are experimenting with 
both legal and illegal drugs, and at an increasingly early age. Some sociologists 
claim that parents and other members of society often set a bad example. 
Discuss the causes and some effects of widespread drug use by young people in 
modern day society. Make any recommendations you feel are necessary to help 
fight youth drug abuse. 
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own 
knowledge or experience.
You should write at least 
250
words.

It is a shock to see how those media products give an impression about how magical
pot is to bring happy hallucination
s
to these cool young people who throw up crazy 
parties every
night. Teenagers are at the mercy of these adverse influences and at 
this tender age, communication with a well-rounded adult is necessary. 
Unfortunately, many parents failed to accomplish their inherent responsibility to bring
