                     Frequent cigarette smoking is a deadly addiction. Adults, even teenagers smoke just for fun and for the sake of showing off. Smoking causes a variety of different diseases, both physically and mentally. Some of the common effects inflicted by smoking are Lung Cancer, Liver Cancer and Ear Infections. Though majority of smokers are aware of its effects, they still continue their habit of doing so.

            Cigarette smoking causes serious deterioration's in the body. The Liver, being responsible for cleansing the blood, is greatly affected by smoking. Harmful chemicals from cigarette smoke can poison the liver which causes Liver Cancer. Another effect of smoking is Ear Infection. This infection is particularly common among infants. Tiny particles produced by cigarette smoke are a major cause of Ear Infection. These particles encourage growth of bacteria which travels to the middle ear canal and develops as Ear Infections. Lung Cancer is also caused by excessive cigarette smoking. Mutation of growth-regulating genes by mutagenic chemicals within cigarette smoke is absorbed by the lungs when inhaled, thus causing Lung Cancer. If not stopped, these infections can cause body malfunctions and possible death.

                Persistent cigarette smoking causes a myriad of different diseases like Lung cancer, Liver Cancer and Ear Infections. These diseases damages huge proportions of our bodies internally. It can poison the inner body particularly the internal organs. Apparently this can cause improper functions of body systems and physical abnormalities. Smokers might probably remonstrate to this, but this is the truth. Life is too short to be wasted living full of remorse.

My Own Family and My Ideal Family by Sean kirk Africa

          My ideal family is a family that shows love, care and support to each other and for me , the most important thing that a family should have is a communication with others because without communication on our family it does not show love, care and support this characteristics is important in our family or ideal family.

          My family and other families are almost the same because like others they struggle in everyday life. We should help each other at all time and respect each other.

          As a family grows up and live together for a long time they already know what are the weaknesses . My family was the one i turned to any problems I encounter in my life. We're not like Chinese people that has a business even though were not rich.

          My family is the best family I ever had because they support me and they love me as a son and younger brother. I choose my family because they teach me how to respect and understand each other.

FAMILY

by CHARISSE TAMONDONG and ESSA COMON

          Is there such thing as a perfect family? For me there is no such thing as a perfect family. But before I end my conclusions there, I had to ask myself. Is there really a perfect family? My family and the family I want to have is not exactly what we call perfect. A family always spends time together, does not lack communication and is committed to one another.

          Bonding is one of the most common things families do. Our family doesn't always bond like this. My dad is working abroad and only goes home every six months. My mother is always busy with her business and my brother is always playing computer games. I want my family to spend more time together, and make time for one another, just even once. We would be there for each other and put our family first before doing unnecessary things.

         Communication is one of the most important materials a family should have to have a strong foundation in their relationship. This is also one of the things our family lack. We lack communication probably because we always argue. My brother and I don't talk much and my dad is always too busy to even call us. I never wanted this. I want my family to have good communication even if our dad is in abroad. I want my brother and I to talk more and open up to each other. Lastly I want my mom and I to spend less time arguing and just talk more to each other.

         If you'd ask me if I'd trade with another, I wouldn't because my family might not be perfect but I love them for who they are. They accepted me for me and I accepted them for who they are. We would just have to do everything we can to be a better family. We would spend more time together and spend less time in doing random unnecessary stuff. We would communicate more and open up to each other more.

Family by Riz Colon

          Is there such thing as a perfect family? Yes, there is. The attitude of each one of us depends on how our parents raised us. A parent's attitude would reflect on their child. Families in the Afro-Asian countries are close to each other, unlike the families in Europe and America. Their family relationship isn't that strong compared to ours.

          An ideal family is probably complete and loves each other. However, being complete as a family is no t necessary. Some types of family. such as a single-parented, are happy because they love each other. Love should always be present in a family, as it keeps a family loyal and committed to each other.

          In a family, parents must try their very best to show their love to their offspring. Parents should also discipline their children, not by hurting or abusing them , but by talking to them calmly. Children in turn, must listen, respect, and obey their parents. Spending quality time will also improve family relationship. It will build trust and closeness among the family. Eating together and going to church are some examples.

          Having learned all about families, I learned that each family is unique in their own simple ways/ As long as they love and trust each other, they will live harmoniously.

Every family is different by Kathleen Quitain

There is no such thing as perfect family unless there is a certain person whose definition of it is very different from the majority. A perfect family, as we all describe, has no flaws in any field. Aside from that, families have roles in forming the identity of a child. For me, the family's role is to guide and always be there in times of trouble. There are also some similar ties or relationship that African-Asian families share. One of the many examples is absolute respect to the elders.

An ideal family is close to a perfect family though flaws can be observed only than the average family. They have characteristics we always wanted in a family. Though human as we are we try to obtain perfection yet when we obtain it we know something lacks or it is not the way we think it is since obtaining something that is far from possible, doubt usually appears. This is why, in my own opinion, ideality is made. It satisfies the conflicting thoughts only because it's not perfect and thus making it convenient.

I regard my family as something special. If not for my family, I may not be the same person I am today. The flaws of my family is what makes them special. These flaws was what made me a strong person in mind. I can point a finger on what they lack but if that is what I only see then I will not notice the characteristics my family have which other people want. In times of difficulties, we stand up together. It makes people change, but also makes them stronger. It doesn't matter if my family is not the ideal one. I can say that because I know my family is enough.

My family and my ideal family are different but they have similarities, we all know there is a large gap in terms of difference between them but if there is a large gap there is also a tinge of connection. This connection can be fragile but will barely disappear. It is also essential, so essential that we don't notice we diverted our eyes into another direction.

I learned a lot while comparing my family with the ideal one.

My Own and Ideal Family by Arnel Garcia

          Is there such a thing as perfect family? Most Asian families stay with their parents until the very end of their lives. I wouldn't say that there is such a perfect family because every complete family has its own imperfections but a family will always take time to spend together and will always stick together. A perfect family will always bond with each other, shows sense of care and appreciation and never fails to accept each member in the family.

          A perfect family is a family who always bonds together. My family spends time together during weekends. We eat meals together and we stay committed to each other. My own and ideal family are quite similar because we always stick together in any ways we could. This shows that my family is perfect in my own point of view, but still we aren't perfect because we have our own imperfections.

          My ideal family would be a family who never fails to show care and appreciation. This attitude in our family is always present because we talk to each other when a member in our family is having problems. We never fail to pray together during Sundays and before having our meals. This is a fact that m,y ideal family and my own have many similarities because we help and protect each other as a complete family.

          Lastly, a perfect family for me always accepts each member in the family for who they are. A family who will always be there for you every time and accepts you for your failures and mistakes. My family takes the role for forming my own identity and accepting me for myself. All of us will stand together against any problem that rises in our family. This is what makes my family similar to my ideal family.

          I will never trade my family for another because I am contented with what God has given me even though my family is not that perfect. I am proud that they are the family I have to stay with. My family is unique in our own ways because we accept each other, we share bonds with each other and we show care and appreciation to each other.

Family by Cae Bualan

          For me, there is no such thing as a perfect family. everyone has their own differences, making it hard to relate with one another. my ideal family is composed of a father, a mother, a brother, a sister and a baby. my ideal characteristics for an ideal family is a family that is united, religious, loving, and well organized. there also comes a time when these characteristics of a good family are lacking or absent in certain families or family members. the result can lead to misunderstanding, fighting, and more conflict. as a normal person, I have experienced bad problems with my family which are hard to forget. these problems have shaped my personality helping me to become a better person as I faced theses problems. so is there really a perfect family.

          I grow up with a family of 3 composed of my father and my mother. I had a little brother after 10 years of living with my mom and dad. My parents are very loving and compassionate, but because of their imperfections, they tend to misunderstand each other sometimes. There have been times that they almost separated, but because of their right choice, lead them back to their vows. I am proud to say that my family is unique and I know that there are much bigger problems that other families have compared to mine.

          There are families that are larger or fewer in number than mine. I cannot say whether which one is better, because that depends on the people who are in it of course having a family with loving and carrying member is way better than broken families or not having a family at all.

          Throughout my life so for my family, I learned that my family may not be perfect, but they are very important to me. They are the ones who give ma love and compassion. They still make me a part of themselves no matter how hard it is for them to forgive me. They are God's gift to me. They are representation of God's love for me and I would never trade them with any other families.

ENGLISH ESSAY 4TH QUARTER

Is a father's love unconditional? All of us thinks that our father's love is eternal. A father's love is unconditional, for they sacrifice their own life, they are the only one who understands and they are there during the darkest days of their children.

They sacrifice their own life. They are willing to give up everything they have just for us to live. They will risk their life to keep us out of danger. They are willing to exchange their life for the sake of our safety.

They understand us. Our fathers comfort us when we are having emotional problems. They will understand us even if they can't. When we are sad, they are the ones who comforts us. They are also the ones who will stand up for us when we feel misunderstood.

They are there during the darkest days of our lives. Our own fathers keep us company when we're alone. They try to cheer us up when we're down. They help us to solve our problems.

Fathers are the only one who understand us, they even sacrifice their own lives and they are there during the darkest days of our lives which proves that our father's love is unconditional.
