Therefore④, many countries have worked out⑤ laws to forbid smoking in public places, such as cinema, hospital, station.

Nowadays, smokers make up⑥ one quarter of the world population. If the problem of smoking is not dealt with⑦ seriously, the health of human will be in danger⑧. So smoking should be banned in no time.⑨

“点评：”

这是一篇要根据情景提示展开的三段式议论文。
本文所谈论的也是当今社会的一个热点问题。

第一段，作者开门见山提出问题，并用“Different people have different opinions”很自然地过渡到下一段。

第二段作者分别陈述了两种对立的不雅观点。
在前半部分，作者陈述了一些吸烟者的不雅观点：他们认为吸烟是一种享受，不吸烟，他们就活不了。
而且他们还认为，他们有吸烟的自由，这与其他人无关。
在本段的后半部分，作者用however进行迁移转变，陈述了其余一些人的对立不雅观点。
这些non-smokers认为，吸烟对吸烟者本人和被动吸烟者均产生巨大危害，许多国家制订法律禁止在公共场所吸烟。

第三段作者用“Nowadays smokers make up one quarter of the world population”详细解释吸烟者人数之众，进而表明了自己的不雅观点，禁烟迫不及待，势在必行。

本文内容充足，构造完全，一些过渡性词和惯用短语的利用使文章衔接自然，措辞丰富，行文流畅。
