The Effects of smoking/vaping on your lungs

What would happen to you if you smoke:

Your lungs can be very badly affected by just smoking even if you do it once a day can affect your health because smoking cigarettes a day almost triples your risks of dying from lung cancers. Coughs, colds, wheezing and asthma are just the start. Smoking can cause fatal diseases such as pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer. Smoking causes 84% of deaths from lung cancer and 83% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

What would happen to you if you vape:Low doses may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and eye irritation. High doses of nicotine may cause tachycardia, high blood pressure, seizures, coma, and death. Moreover, the FDA reported detecting ethylene glycol in some of the e-cigarettes and cancer-causing substances called nitrosamines in others.

Blood vessels

There are 3 types of blood vessels and each of them has different but similar functions although their main function is to carry blood around. The first one is called the Arteries, it's job is to carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and toward other tissues and organs. It also delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body.





Blood Vessels are the components of the circulatory system their function is to transport blood around the human body. The Vessels convey blood cells, nutrients, and oxygen to the tissues of the body. It is also their job to take away the waste and carbon dioxide from the tissues.


The second one is the Vein, They are responsible for returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The largest Vein in the human body is the vena cava, Veins have thinner walls 

The last one is called the capillary their job is to enable the exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues

Creative Writing - Similes and Metaphors

In English, we were given tasks to do, there are 6 tasks in total and we need to complete at least one task every lesson.

Similes and Metaphors are both analogies but they are not exactly the same when used. Similes always use the words 'like' and 'as' merely to say when one thing is similar to another while Metaphors don't when used in a sentence.

Examples:
I'm like a cat (Simile)
I am a cat (Metaphor)

A recent news item that interests me

There was one of all of the news that got me interested and it was the coronavirus. It is a family of viruses that are known for containing stains that cause deadly diseases in mammals and birds. they're typically spread via airborne droplets of fluid produced by infected individuals in humans. Some people have lost their lives because of these viruses and I think it is still spreading all over the world. Scientists have discovered that this pandemic came from bats. 

I am interested in the coronavirus because I heard it is deadly and has killed so many people in 2 months and it is still spreading in China. There are about 492 dead people in total and is still increasing and there are about 876 lucky people that have recovered from the coronavirus. There are currently 23,874 people that are still suffering and 12% of them are in a critical condition.
