◆看图作文 27．Directions: Study the following set of pictures carefully and write an essay in no less than 120 words. Your essay must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET Ⅱ. Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirements below: Interpret the following pictures. Predict the tendency of tobacco consumption and give your reasons.
