Burn the Candle at Both Ends
To burn the candle at both ends means being very busy
with work from early morning until late at night.
Let’s say Ann is a graduate student and starts a new
job. She studies and works at the same time.
Her friends could say that she burns the candle at
both ends.

I think I can choose products that are eco-friendly for the global environment.
For example, I can try to buy products made from organic ingredients so that
less chemical fertilizer will be used. Also, I can try not to buy products with
unnecessary plastic wrapping that does not return to the soil.
If more people try to buy environment-friendly products and be more eco-friendly,
we will move forward towards a more eco-friendly society.

This graph clearly shows that the smoking rate for men in Japan is higher than
that in any other country while the smoking rate for women is the lowest. One
possible reason is that many Japanese men begin smoking as a way to appear
cool but many Japanese women care about the health of the unborn baby and
do not start smoking.

Theme
Smoking Should Be Banned in Public Places
Introductory Paragraph
The number of cigarette smokers may have been declining but WHO says tobacco
still kills tobacco users and nonsmokers being exposed to secondhand smoke. In
Japan, it has become more difficult for smokers to find places to smoke but there
are many places that have smoking sections where it is allowed to smoke.
This essay argues that cigarette smoking in public places should be banned for
the following reasons: secondhand smoke can affect the health of nonsmokers:
smoking fire can be very dangerous: and children may try to smoke.

Body Paragraphs
Secondhand smoke is smoke from a burning cigarette and the smoke causes many
health problems in infants, children and adults. It can cause breathing problems,
ear infections and pneumonia and so on. In adults, it has been linked with CHD,
stroke and lung cancer. An effective way to prevent secondhand smoke exposure
is banning smoking in any public places.
Smoking related fires are very dangerous. For example, a-45-year-old patient tried
to smoke in bed and set a ward on fire a few months ago. Staff repeatedly warned
him not to smoke but the heavy smoker lit a cigarette while he was still wearing an
oxygen mask and sparked a fire that caused a £50,000 damage.
There’s more than just one answer but it is possible that children think smoking
behavior is normal and want to smoke when they see adults smoking in public.
Some say there is no evidence that children start smoking because they witness
strangers smoking in public places but it is necessary to de-normalise smoking
for children.
Concluding Paragraph
This essay has presented three reasons why smoking in public should be banned.
Firstly, secondhand smoke is harmful and can cause numerous health problems.
Second, smoking in public can cause a fire disaster. Finally, tobacco use in public
places encourages children to smoke.
