2Cadbury is a wonderful iconic business with remarkable market positions and great positions in growth markets which is delivering for its shareholders today. It has no strategic issues, no financial issues and no managerial issues.
3It depends. If the acquiring company is an economically strong one and makes us a good offer, I would be only too glad to see the proposed takeover. On the other hand, if the acquiring company does not think our small company is worth a lot and the shareholders' interests are affected, then I would certainly be against the takeover.

Here is a darker side of society. Lead in > Task 1
1Some people think smoking makes them relax. Some people smoke just because all those around them smoke. Some young people even think smoking is cool.
Smoking is harmful to one's health. It can lead to many diseases. Long-term smoking may result in lung diseases, or even lung cancer. Also, some heavy smokers may suffer from breathing difficulty, high blood pressure, heart trouble, amongst other disease. Moreover, cigarettes cost money.
2Yes. The family-planning or one-child policy is one of the reasons.
What's more, the rapid economic development, continuous increases in living standards and the improved medical service have all contributed to the increasing average lifespan. This can cause a lot of problems. Few young people have to support more old people. The larger elderly population requires more social security spending, special public facilities such as homes for the elderly and nursing homes, and more medical services, which are a heavy burden on society.
To deal with the challenges, we must develop our economy to accumulate more funds so as to establish a sound social security system and old-age insurance system. We also need to establish more public facilities for senior citizens.
3Poverty may lead to many problems. Because of a shortage of money, sick
people can't afford to go to the hospital, children can't afford to go to school, and some jobless people live far below the poverty line. Worse still, some needy people may become so desperate that they hate society and commit crimes or suicide.
Poverty can be eliminated by generating more employment, raising the level of education, drawing upon the resources of every social institutions, etc.
4Before unemployed people can find a new job, their basic living standard should be met. Generally speaking, most people prefer to find a job rather than live on a handout. So it is important for them to be trained for reemployment. The government should offer training programs to update their skills so that they will become competitive in the job market again.
