The writer tries to show how smoking is harmful to her own father and to the people in poor countries as examples to support her feelings against her daughter’s smoking. And then she concludes that every home should be a no-smoking zone.The passage can be roughly divided into her parts. Part One (Para 1)It tells us that the writer’s daughter smokes.Part one is the first paragraph. The writer feels terrible about it and she wants to weep as smoking could cause her daughter’s death.Part Two (Paras. 2-6)It is mainly about the writer’s father’s experience. It presents the reasons and the effects of his smoking.Part Two consists of five paragraphs, from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 6. Paragraph 2 is aboutthe fact that the writer’s father, her daughter’sgrandfather, smoked. Paragraph 3 is about the reason why her father smoked. The tobacco industry, coupled with Hollywood movies in which both male and female heroes smoked like chimneys, completely won over people like her father, who were hopelessly hooked by cigarettes. Paragraph 4 and 5 are about the results of smoking. Her fatherstarted to cough. When she was sixteen, his breath was a wheeze and he could not climb stairs without stopping every third of fourth step. And it was usual for him to cough for an hour. Her father died from pneumonia one winter as a result of long-time smoking. In Paragraph 6 the writer turns her attention to the Third World countries. The large advertisement signs attract people in poor countries, and the money for food goes to tobacco companies. As a consequence, people starve themselves of both food and air, effectively weakening and hooking their children, eventually killing themselves.Part Three (Paras. 7-8)Part Three is just based on the specific examples about the harmful results of smoking. This part is made up of two paragraphs. Paragraph 7 puts forwardthe writer’s point of view about her daughter’s smoking as a response to Paragraph 1: She isstrongly against her daughter’s smoking. Accordingto what she says, she feels bad about bringing upher daughter to have her struggle to breathethrough most of her life feeling half strength, and then die of self-poisoning, as her grandfather did. Paragraph 8, as the last paragraph of the passage, argues for every home being a no-smoking zone. Smoking has killed her father, is killing herdaughter and is also killing other smokers andthose who have to sit by.IV. Structured WritingA Paragraph of a Cause and EffectThe writer of the text presents us with a horrible picture of the harmful effects of smoking. And the harmful effects are described as a result of the cause—smoking. This is an example of cause-and-effect writing, which makes clear the reasons why somethinghappens by showing the relationship between a cause and its effect. A typical cause-and-effect relationship is often brought out by words like because, as a result, consequently, etc. Look at Paragraph 6. In paragraph 6 we have the word eventually which indicates the final results of something. In paragraph 6, the writer presents us with an effective advertisement about a confident or fashionable older man and a beautiful, “worldly”young woman, both of them smoking leisurely. Because of the powerful advertisement, the effects are money going to tobacco companies, people starving for food and air and becoming increasingly weakened, and eventually, poisonous smoking kills people..(Turn to P. 115 and do Exercise XIII. Now fill in the same kind of chart for Paragraph 4, identifying the cause-and-effect relationship)V.
