Wär toll, wenn mir jemand mal kurz helfen könnte, ist nichts wirklich schweres.. aber englisch ist nicht so meine Sprache^^
Ich soll zu jeder Frage 150Wörter schreiben, das ist schon schwer genug
&wollt ich mal fragen, wie das mit der Grammatik aussieht, stimmt die so? Bin noch nicht fertig, muss es heute aber noch meinem Lehrer schicken
1. Should cigarette advertisement be forbidden? Why? Why not?
In my opinion it should not be forbidden, because I think advertisements have no effects on the people. Often an advertisement promote for a special cigarette mark, not for general smoking. It is not important if the people, especially children and teenagers, see cigarette-advertisements or not. They do not start smoking because of advertisement. I believe that it is charming for inexperienced people to try smoking in a bar or somewhere else, where they can see other people smoking. I would like to say that most people start smoking only because of group pressure.
A prohibition about cigarette advertisements would be one of much senseless laws in Germany. If cigarette advertisements are forbidden, after all it is cool for young people to smoke.
2. Should cigarettes be more expensive?
I believe that it is no matter whether the cigarettes are expensive or not. If someone gets addicted he pays a lot for his drug. Maybe the people stop smoking if it is too expensive for them.
3. What do you think about alcohol - should it be forbidden?
In my opinion alcohol should not be forbidden. But the people have to learn how to handle with alcohol. For example a single mother with an unwanted child, when she was drunk she told the child that it was unwanted. In this example the mother do not know what she say because the alcohol has confused her senses and her mind. Also it is a well-known fact that a lot of road accidents are consequences of alcohol abuse. So I believe alcohol at the road traffic should be forb idden. The police can make more controls and the culprit should get penalties.
Alcohol is harmful to young people and in my opinion the law is right, if alcohol is not allowed for teens. They do not know the consequences like injury damages. Some of them only drink much alcohol because of group pressure.
But I think that drunken people should be as responsible for their deeds as sober people. If they do not know what they do, when they are drunk, they do not have to drink so much alcohol.
4. In the Netherlands, marihuana is allowed – should it be allowed in Germany, too?
I think marihuana should be allowed in Germany, too. It is not as dangerous as alcohol. If marihuana is allowed the state can get collect taxes and they do not lose the control of these drugs because of controlled farming. Then it is not necessary to buy or sell marihuana on the black market. Also marihuana would not be so expensive and the prisons would be uncrowded.
But if marihuana gets legal in Germany some laws are needed. I think marihuana should be buyable for people over 20years, but only, if their mental health is ok. After two years they should have to make a test to check whether the body and the mind can stomach this drug. If it is not okay they are not any longer allowed to buy and consume marihuana. The controls have to be sharper so that younger people cannot buy this drug. Marihuana only should be buyable in special shops, for example in a pharmacy or special drugstores.
