FRIST CHALLENGE ACTIVE READING. Read to the dialog with your partner.

Laela : Good morning, Ahmad.

Ahmad: Oh....hi,Morning Laela. How are you today?

Laela : I feel better today, thanks, Uhm...Is that today’s newspaper? Yeah, the one you are reading

Ahmad: Yup!

Laela : did you read that article in the paper about semoking? The peson who wrote it must be crazy.

Ahmad: I don’t think so. I thing the goverment should do everything it can to discourage people frome smoking.

Laela : Maybe so. But a law banning cigarettes does not good.

Ahmad: What do you mean? In my opinion, though you can’t suddenly make smoking illegal but it is important for the gorverment to establish the law that prohibits smoking in public places like cinemas and hospital.

Laela : Yes, that’s true. But I think people should be allowed to smoke on the train and buses. Don’t you think so?

Ahmad : Not at all. It’s awful sitting next to someone blowing smoke smoke all over you, if you don’t smoke your self.

Laela : Sure, I agree. But if you do smoke, and don’t forget, it isn’t a crime....

Ahmad: Well, that’s where the goverment cand help. It should make “ NO SMOKING” compartments on all trains, buses, and aeroplanes, and there should be more “ NO SMOKING” compartments that “ Smoking”. Then, you’ll really discourage people from smoking.

Laela : Yes I suppose you’re right, On that basis, we agree that there should be some real effort to discourage people from smoking. Well, I’ve got to go now and hand in these paper to our teacher. It’s nice to have talked with you. Thanks, Ahmad.

Ahmad: Bye. Laela.
