The history of chocolate begins more than 2,000 years ago. The first
people who made chocolates are from the ancient civilisation of Mexico
and central America. They were knowing as the mayans and Aztec
people. The first concoction for chocolate was made by grounding
cocoa seeds with various seasonings. The result was an spicy and frothy
drink. Later, some Spanish voyagers bringing the beans back to Spain
where they created new ways of using it. After a while, the drink was
made known all over Europe. Although shipping the cocoa beans back
home was rather expensive, chocolate remained the elite drink and only
the upper class could afford it. While Spanish brought it back home,
they doctored the brew and adding sugar in the process. They kept the
secret for almost a hundred years before the other European countries
discovered it. Then, it became the biggest fad to hit the continent.

One of the good habits we should practise is to seldom throw litter into
rubbish bins. Some people are either indifferent so too lazy to walk over
to a bin to dispose of their rubbish. A lot of people also threw things into e.g. _ _keep
drains. Often, the hawker stalls situation near drains treat them as large
garbage dumps. As a result, the drains is filthy and clogged. Many
Malaysians get rid of their unwanted things by dumping them into the
rivers. These attitude must stop, there will be more fish only if the rivers
are clean. Air pollution is also a increasing concern. Due to open
burning, all types of fumes are releasing into the air. This can endanger
our health. Another problem is graffiti whish was becoming noticeable
nowadays. We see buildings and walls sprayed with ugly graffiti. This is
a real eyesore. Keeping our environment clean will help to keep us all in
better health. We can also enjoy neater and more beautiful surroundings.
