Is Smoking Good for Us?
Thesis
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousand people die every year
in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly a
quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Argument 1
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times
more likely to die of lung cancer than a non-smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is
nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking.
Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non-smokers.
Argument 2
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in
smoky room, non-smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen
cigarettes.
conclusion
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit.
Smoking however is not good for everybody else.

Hortatory Exposition is to persuade the readers that something
should not be the case or be done.
Language Features
Using simple present tense
Using modals
Using action verbs
Using adverb
Using adjective

Corruption
Thesis
Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation between money
and corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the
United States. It’s just a matter of intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one
reliable survey claims Jakarta as the most corrupt place in Indonesia.
Argument 1
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a living here in the
capital. As most people know, Tanjung Priok port smuggling is not a new thing at all.
Entrepreneurs who want to minimize their tax payments tend to do such a thing more
often. They even bribe the officials.
Argument 2
Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the
corruptors is still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from
getting a bad mentality caused by corruption.
Recommendation
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone should be
involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any distinction.

Bringing Mobile Phone To School
Issue
Students are not allowed to bring mobile phone to school. The reasons why they shouldn't bring mobile phone
are: avoiding losing mobile phone and disturbing the lesson time.
Argument against
This policy causes parents to react. Some of them disagrees. They think students need to bring mobile phone in
order to be easy checked and controlled. Some parents say that they may call their children every break time
to check whether they are in the school or not. Other parents state that they don't want their children to
come home late. By bringing mobile phone they are able to call their children after school off.
Argument against
Students also have some objections. They need mobile phone to tell their family to pick them up after school.
Beside that, they need mobile phone to access the internet to search some information they need during the
lesson.
Argument for
But, some other parents think differently. The parents agrees if the school prohibits students to bring mobile
phone. They say that bringing mobile phone to school is useless. They are afraid their students are busy with
their mobile phone. They are only calling, sending text, chatting and receiving inappropriate file during the
school time. They are also worried if the mobile phone is missing.
Recommendation
hearing to those arguments, the school decide some policies. The policies state that students may bring mobile
phone but they should leave their mobile phone in the teachers' room. They may take their mobile phone after
school time.
