Trip to KL part 1

Today, I went to KL because I want to meet with my friend. I took a bus from cyberjaya to putrajaya sentral which cost me about one ringgit. Then I took KL transit train from putrajaya sentral to KL sentral. It’s quite expensive because I only took a one way trip but it already cost me about nine ringgit. The trip took about 20 minutes, so it will be pretty boring if I don’t do anything. That’s why, once again, my Ipod had saved me. When the train was arriving at the platform, I stepped in and looked for the best seat. Then I turned on my ipod. Ten minutes had passed by but I still felt so bored. I turned off my ipod then and start starring to the beautiful scenery which I had from my seat. Suddenly, I heard someone talking to his friend. He said to his friend if she believed about the effect of smoking which can cause him to suffer lung cancer. “yes, of course..why?” applied his friend. “Nothing..just asking. Hey, do you remembered hasan, my cousin?” Asked him again. “yeah, he’s a nice guy..how is he?” said his friend. Then he answered,” actually hasan is having a lung cancer right now. I don’t know how, but I think it’s because he likes to smoke a lot. What do you think?”. “well, since smoking can cause lung cancer, I think smoking is really the reason why he has a lung cancer right now”, she answered. Then they had a long conversation about smoking which I couldn’t remember. I thought about the conversation just now. Well, they not supposed to make that conclusion because what they made is Affirming the Consequent. Just because smoking can cause lung cancer, it doesn’t mean that the cause of his cousin’s cancer is smoking. It could probably come from other factors like dust etc. what they did just now is making an invalid argument.
