7.35 POPULATION
1. Countries such as China, India, and Japan have unsustainable
population growth. In fact, many experts are of the opinion that the
population “explosion,” which is now a very worrying concern, is the
most serious threat to life on this planet. Give some suggestions to
address this problem.
7.36 POVERTY
1. Every country has poor people, and every country has different ways
of dealing with the poor and poverty. What are some of the reasons
for world poverty? What can be done to assist the poor?
7.37 GARBAGE
1. Nowadays, we are producing more and more garbage. Why do you
think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the
amount of garbage produced?
8.38 SHOPPING
1. Shopping has become a favorite pastime among young people. Why
do you think it’s like that, and do you think they must be encouraged to
do other things rather than shopping?
7.39 SMOKING
1. It has been proved that smoking kills. In some countries, it has been
made illegal for people to smoke in all public places except in

---

certain areas. All countries should make these rules. Do you agree or
disagree with this statement?
2. Smoking tobacco, like other dangerous drugs, should be made illegal.
Do you agree or disagree?
3. Smoking is a bad habit and should be banned completely on a
worldwide scale. Give your views on this.
4. Some businesses now say that smoking is forbidden in all their
offices. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons.
5. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. Do you
agree or disagree? Give reasons for your opinion.
6. In a recent survey conducted in this country, it was found that up to 20
percent of twelve-year-olds in some schools were showing early
signs of nicotine addiction. In the eighteen- to twenty-year age
bracket, the percentage was as high as 70 percent. A large
contributing factor to this high level of addiction was attributed to the
uncensored TV advertising of cigarettes. For this reason, all cigarette
advertising should be banned. Discuss.
