Conclusions

1. The text is experientially dominated by theMaterial (35%) and Circumstance ofLocation (60%)

2. Tentatively it is concluded that the genre ofNarrative is closely associated to MaterialProcess and Circumstance of Location. Inother words, grammaticly telling a story is

unmarkedly realized by the twogrammatical aspects.

Experience in Smoking

I have an unforgettable story on smoking.This happened when I was 9 years old. I liked heroes in cowboy films

where the heroes fired shots while they were smoking. One day, my friendAli and I went to our special placeunder the bamboo tress near the bankof a river in a remote place in Asahan. Ali took a packet of cigarettes, whichhe snatched from his fathers drawers and I stole half a packet from myfather pocket. There we enjoyed the cigarettes. After almost two hourssmoking I felt headache. I saw Alis face turning pale and Ali told me thathe saw the earth moving. In no time Ali collapsed and got fainted. I ranback home quickly and told our parents about the event. The news spreadall over the village. In half an hour nearly all members of the village cameto our favorite place at the bank of a river and at no time Ali and I weretaken to the community medical centre. When we recovered our parentsgot very angry. As a precious lesson my uncle smacked me on the face andAli was hit by his elder bother.

It was an awful experience

The Danger of Smoking

Smoking is inhaling smokes from burning cigarettes. Smoking causesdisadvantages to health, welfare and environment.

Firstly, smoking is hazardous to health. Because of breathing in poisonoussmoke a smoker often has respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis or lungcancer. Not only does smoking cause risk to the smoker himself/herself butit is harmful to other people around (the passive smokers) as well. Forexample, the passive smoker such as the fetus in the womb of pregnantwomen can have the same amount of nicotine as its smoking mothersblood.Secondly, smoking causes economical disadvantage. The smokers arealways sicky so they have low-productivity activity. Therefore, they aredisadvantageous to economy. It is estimated that more than 87% smokerswork less efficiently than non-smokers do.Thirdly, smoking litters the surroundings. Cigarette butts are everywherewith a huge amount of poisonous smoke is sent into the atmosphere. Jones(1998: 12) has observed that millions hectares of forest are felled forcigarette paper and filter.In conclusion, smoking is disadvantageous to people, economy andenvironment. (It is suggested that smoking should be banned).
