(b) "Young people in Hong Kong accept disciplane more

iii) Result - it is easier for them to accS DT
discipline.
body
The exercising or self-discipline depends on →onels maturity and conscience.
ii) Young people in Hong Kong are often said to be immature – reason they are too examination- conscious they attend school, hoping to be spoon-fed." They seldom use the school as place for developing their character.
iii) It is also easy to do what one is told; it 18
more difficult to do correctly what one thinks is correct; young people in Hong Kong tend to develop the habit of being led by othera rather than to lead others, m
Other reasons why young people accept discipline more readily they come from very strict parents who train them up in military fashion or they may come from "broken" families, where they are never taught to practice self- discipline; the educational system is faulty- result, teachers know how to make students: accept discipline instead of teaching them to practise self-discipline. Self-discipline also depends on one's ability
to live a scrupulous life; Hong Kong's environment is such that it is more easy for immatura young people to be led astray; temptations of the city often cause them to lose sight of the true value of things.
Conclusion
The fact that juvenile delinquency is on the increase provides eloquent evidence that young people in Hong Kong are less willing to exercise self-discipline. So long as they are in school or at home, they accept the displine of the elders, outside school or home, they become juvenile delinquents.
(e) Hong Kong has been described as the ugliest city

Introduction
It is much easier to travel nowadays than before, but it is equally easier to soodustar danger in our travels to day than before.
Body
1). Man has made travel quicker, but has overlooked
the necessity of providing safety for the travellers.
(i) Air travel is bota quick and comfortable; the
"jumbo" jet is perhaps the ultimate in air travel, yet what safety is quaranteed for anyone who travels on it? ¡ir crashes are not unheard.
iii) Care today are fast; they are what the car designers call "G.T." Again the ability to provide safety has remained an unsolved problem. In Hong Kong, traffic accidents are everyday accurrences; the average road toll 18 28 per day.

Only recently, the world awaited desperately for the return of Appollo 13. Evidently, man has not yet. made space travel absolutely safe.
Conclusion
modera, traveller is concerned not with the problem of how to get to his destination, but with the problem of how to arrive at it, safely.

What the world would be like without any books.
trom work through poor health, and even today the common cold alone is responsible for the loss of an amazingly large number of man-hours. Concern for the health of others has thus become a form of self-interest
Nowadays all but the most underdeveloped countries make a wide variety of medical services readily available to those in need of them, often free or for only a small charge, Patients are treated by qualified doctors, nurses, dentists and other trained therapists, supported by fully equipped hospitals and clinics, X-ray equipment, anaesthetics, blood transfusion facilities, ambulances on call these are but a few of the services now taken for granted in Hong Kong and many other parts of the world.
Less evident but equally important are the measures taken to prevent liness rather t
r than cure it, Among the most important is the provision of ar adequate supply of purified water, which often means the addition of chemicals. Sewerage systems for the effective disposal of waste products represent another safeguard to health now regarded as essential. Immunisation against certain infectious diseases has been generally successful in preventing the epidemics that in earlier times caused wide-spread illness and death and is often compulsory when one enters or leaves a country, as a precaution against the possible spread of disease,
Where preventive measures involve restrictions upon Individuals, how ever, disagreement sometimes arises. One can have nothing but praise for the efforts being made in Hong Kong to prevent and cure addiction to dangerous drugs, but those who maintain that cigarette smoking also endangers the. health and should therefore be prohibited meet with much opposition. There is no general agreement at presentz in England cigarette advertising is pro hibited on television, but in America, Hong Kong and many other countries, this is not so. In the same way we all approve of the enlightened information and advice received by schoolchildren as part of their health education,but we would not perhaps be over-eager to accept a new law compelling everyone to take fifteen minutes' physical exercise every day.
Question
In not more than 150 words explain how society came to be concerned with the health of the individual, and describe the different forms.in which, according to the writer, this concern now shows itself.

38 en annediate result of scientific research, the health of the individual in concerned. Since the struggle for survival became less extreme, people began considering the welfare of the others. It was recognized that the development of a socisty depended upon the general well-being of every individual. Besides being urged by humanitarian desire, people realized that many diseases are communioable. The ill-health of people may also cause a severe loss of industrial productivity, Therefore, moat countries are now with free modern medical services, Measures lika the supply of purified water, the removal of waste. matters by sewers and the immunisation against some infectious diseases have been taken to prevent the spread of disease. In Hong Kong, special helps are given to drug addicts. In England, digaretter advertising is forbidden on television. Some enlightened information and advice are also given so school children as part of their health education. (147 orde)
