4. Calvin and his friends were having a normal gathering at a
restaurant in Taylor’s University.They are semester 2 students for the
Foundation in Natural and Built Environment. One of his friends
gave him cigarettes and asks him to try on it.At first Calvin rejected
his friends but lastly he still could not resist and took the cigarette
to have a try.
The next day, one of Calvin’s classmates,Adele saw him
smoking.Then she decided to meet up with him and have a talk.
When Adele confronted Calvin for his wrong beings Calvin
immediately replied angrily saying that it was none of her business!
Adele tried to say some of the bad effects that cigarette will cause
him bad health but he keeps on denying it.
5. One evening, Calvin’s good friend Alex was having a casual
date with his girlfriend SinYuen.Alex suddenly passed out on the
floor and was sent to the hospital.At the hospital SinYuen heard
about the bad news and informed Calvin about it.When Calvin
knew about it, he was very sad.This incident hit Calvin hard and he
decided to stop smoking, in honour of his friend Alex.

them but he does not smoke anymore. His classmates
stereotype him as he still mingles with the group of people, but
actually he changed a new leaf and started to live a better life. He did not
even care of what others say but him being himself.
