~What are the effects of taking drugs ?
Drugs are split into 4 main categories which are stimulants , depressants, hallucinogens and painkillers. Stimulants increase heart rate, making you chatty and confident. They can also put a lot of strain on the heart. Users can become depressed after using stimulants.
Depressants slow down the heart rate, making users feel relaxed. They can also make users feel depressed, drowsy and unable to concentrate.
Users of hallucinogens see things in vivid colours and often see things that aren't really there. The feelings from these drugs can be very intense, and can make you very giggly and 'drunk'. They can also make you paranoid and depending on your mood and environment, you may have a bad trip, which can be very scary.
Painkillers numb the senses, and can make people feel better. They can be very addictive. Many are prescribed by doctors. However, 'recreational' painkillers can be highly dangerous.
Different drugs will show different types of symptoms depending on which category they belong to. I think that drugs can be pretty dangerous and it could put a person's life at risk. People die as a result of taking drugs for a long time.

~Why do people take drugs ?
People especially children and teenagers are ignorant about drugs. Even though schools have given talks about drugs, some choose to turn a deaf ear. Children in primary school especially the young ones may not understand bout it. They are then curious to know about drugs. Some children have parents who may be drug addicts and they think it will be okay to take drugs so they may follow in their parents footsteps by taking drugs. The parents who are drug addicts may not have notice it as they do not care what their children do. In the end, the children will also be addicted to drugs and it will affect their studies and health. Some children as young as 6 years old have died because of drugs.
Teenagers are the most common people to take drugs. They think that by taking drugs, it will take their troubles away, make them feel 'high' and make them feel good. Even those who are the 'innocent' take drugs due to bad influence with friends and adults who are drug addicts or strangers. Some teenagers might not even know that they had taken drugs.
Adults are also influenced because of drugs. Some even became drug traffickers. They are then arrested and taken to a rehabilitation centre. The consequences of taking drugs or trafficking them are frightening as some schools have shown videos of what happens to them for example caning. I think that everybody should be aware of what are drugs and the consequences of taking them so that everybody can keep a lookout for those drug addicts and traffickers to help them conquer their addiction.

~What are the causes of global warming ?
What are the causes of global warming ?
The scientists found that the combined radiative forcing due to increases in carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide is the largest climate driver and its rate of increase during the industrial era is very likely to have been unprecedented in more than 10,000 years. Furthermore, the carbon dioxide radiative forcing increased by 20% from 1995 to 2005, the largest change for any decade in at least the last 200 years. These are some of the causes of global warming.

After cutting down trees we should plant a new tree back . We should also have more car pools to reduce the amount of harmful gases . The government should encourage Green Day so that the people can be more aware of what is happening to the Earth . We should also reuse , reduce and recycle . We should use products which are biodegradable to reduce the burning of rubbish . These are some of the ways which we can do to help .
