The next page is called “Smoking”. Who got prepared it?
Cigarette smokers not only have an increased risk of lung cancer, but also many other cancers.
Smoking also contributes to virtually all the non-malignant but common heart, circulatory and lung disorders, including fatal heart attacks, strokes and emphysema.
There are two important facts to remember. First, 50 per cent of those who smoke will die prematurely as a result of cigarettes, for one reason or another (usually cancer). That's half of all smokers! Second, it's always worth giving up. After 12 to 15 years from the last cigarette you smoke, the risk of getting lung cancer drops (even in people who previously smoked quite heavily) to a level virtually as low as for non-smokers.

One in three people will be affected by cancer at some stage in their lives. Cancer isn't one disease but many; all have some similar features, but each also has a distinctive character that varies according to the cancer's type and location.

Group 3.
T: What is this information provided by?
P: This information is provided by BBC World Service.
Read the short summary of the text you did.
T: Freddie Mercury is the brightest star who died because of this virus.
T: Was he an American or British musician?
T: Do you know his any other songs?
T: Do you know at what age he died and why?
T: Look through the information and answer the questions.
T: And now you can ask me a question why we are talking about Mercury at such a lesson titled “Health is above wealth”
P: Queen was very popular and successful.
Mercury was one of the richest rock star. Nevertheless his money didn’t help him to be cured.
T I’m sure that’s why when we say “Happy birthday “we wish the person would be healthy first and only then wealthy.
Now let’s test yourself how do you understand the main idea of the lesson.
