Smoking could raise mental illness risk

Notes:

• Smoking may be a factor for developing psychotic illnesses
• Secondhand smoke may increase the risk of stroke
• Smoking's impact on levels of the chemical dopamine in the brain 

Summary:

Scientists have suggested that smoking could be a factor for developing psychotic illnesses like schizophrenia.The analysis by researchers from King College London, found that people who suffer from psychosis are three times more likely to smoke than the rest. Secondhand  smoke may increase the risk of stroke by about 30% for nonsmokers as study has warned and it has also found that even after adjustment for other stroke factors such as heart disease, the 30% risk remained. Smoking impact on levels of the chemical dopamine in the brain, which also plays a role in psychotic illness.

Personal reflection:

All studies has found that smoking causes a serious risk whether are mental illness or physical illness, so every smoking's person should take a serious step to start decreasing the amount of cigarettes and stop completely smoking .  The risk could reach to another persons life its not only about smokers life, so we have to start thinking wisely which way we choose.

Soaking up languages

Notes:

• Fairvale public school has a high percentage of non-English-speaking backgrounds 
• They are better at coping languages than adults
• Little people are resilient
• Fairvale school welcome the different cultures 

Summary:

About 90 percent of the students in Fairvale school are non-English-speaking backgrounds mainly Arabic and Vietnamese. These students are much better than adults at coping languages, Generally little people who are enthusiastic to learn, they are resilient. Finally Fairvale public school prided itself on its multiculturalism.

personal reflation :

My point of view is these students which English is their second language have a bit difficulties to deal with their native language and the  new language (English) as well as the new environment, but from other side they got a valuable skill, it could be useful later on.
