Picture 1
This poster is about Aids. It shows a poster of people holding a big picture that is covered in handprints. I think that they choose this picture because the handprints are different colors, and this shows that Aids can affect everyone, no matter what their skin color is or what country they are from. This tells us that Aids is an international problem that we have to work together to try and fight.
The words ‘STOP THE CHAIN OF AIDS’ can be seen on the poster. The poster encourages us to stop spreading this disease. We need to make sure that we do not become infected by Aids.
Picture 2
Everyone knows smoking causes great harm to one’s health, but many smokers just keep on smoking. This poster wants to persuade them to give up cigarettes. The human skull with a cigarette between its lips shows that the result of smoking is death.
Smoking can cause various deadly diseases, such as lung cancer, heart trouble and high blood pressure. Smoking is one of the biggest killers in the world. Although most people know the dangers of smoking, many find it very hard to stop smoking because cigarettes are so addictive.
World No tobacco Day is 31 May. 31 May 2006 is the 19th World No Tobacco Day.
The theme of this day in 2006 is ‘Tobacco: deadly in any from or disguise’
Picture 3
The warning ‘Say No to drugs!’ tells us that we must not take drugs. There are some drugs in the poster. Drug-taking is a global problem, so the whole world is paying special attention to this problem. 26 June is International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. The theme of this day in 2006 is ‘Drugs are not child’s play’. It aims to tell people that drugs are not fun and are not safe. Let’s just say no to drugs.
Picture 4
This poster shows a damaged car that has obviously been in an accident. The driver may be dead. From the words
‘Don’t drink and driver!’ we can know what caused the accident. Next to the car lies a bottle of what looks like alcohol. The driver was probably drinking alcohol before driving. In many countries, driving after drinking is the main cause of traffic accidents every year. Especially in recent years, with the raid increase in the number of cars on the road, more traffic accidents have taken place because of driving after drinking. Looking at the poster, every one of us must remember that no one should drive after drinking. We should consider both our own lives and the lives of others, and drive safely.
巩固拓展【知识深化一提】
Answers for reference:
1. I think there are a number of reasons why people do these things. The first reason is that they do not know how serious the results of their actions are. People may be curious about taking drugs and want to try something new. They may think, “I will just try this once, and I will not become addicted to it.” People may also be influenced by their idols, such as TV or pop stars. Fans may see their idols smoking, and think it is cool, so they copy their idols and smoke too. Some people just do not obey the law. For instance, no one should drive after drinking. However, some people think that they will be lucky and nothing will happen to them. Finally, some people do not have enough knowledge about how to protect themselves. Maybe they do not know that one can be infected with Aids through a blood transfusion, when the hospital has not checked for Aids, or unprotected sex.
2. I know that Aids is a deadly disease, and that there is no cure. The medicines used to treat aids are very expensive, so many people cannot afford to pay for them. For many Aids victims, there is nothing they can do. The situation is very serious around the world, especially in Africa and Asia. Africa has the highest number of HIV-positive people in the world. Some children are now being born with HIV because their mothers were infected with HIV when they were pregnant. 1st December, 2005 is the 18th World Aids Day, and its them is ‘Stop Aids. Keep the promise.’ I think we can guess from this that it aims to encourage people and governments to stick to their commitments about stopping Aids.
3. Yes. Some young people, including some university and high school students, are addicted to computer or video games. They often play these games deep into the night. Some high school students even miss school and do not do their homework in order to play these games. Some may even lie to their parents or steal money so that they can afford to pay games online. Being addicted to video games not only does harm to their health but can also ruin their future. Other bad habits include students going to school without breakfast in the morning. Some only like drinking juice or fizzy drinks, and do not want to drink fresh water when they are thirsty. Some people eat too much meat and almost no vegetables every day. These are all bad habits that harem people’s health.

书面表达
Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise
AIDS is a deadly disease, which is spreading fast throughout our country．It breaks down body’s immune system, transmitted via unprotected sex，infected blood transfusions or at birth.
There is no cure available for the disease and AIDS patients have to deal with the fact that they might die young．Unfortunately, a deadly disease such as AIDS also frightens others．All too often，people treat AIDS patients as if they were bad or dangerous．
Because of a lack of knowledge about how it gets transmitted，there are a great many people who have contracted AIDS in China and the number is increasing．The disease does not keep them from enjoying their life．
In order to prevent the fast spread of AIDS, we high school students must realize how harmful AIDS is． We should be strict with ourselves and keep away from drugs ．Besides, we shouldn’t look down upon those AIDS suffers． What they need is care and love from society．Where there is life, regardless of the threat of disease, there will be hope, because we have love and care as our weapons.
Let’s remember: StoIDS, Keep the Promise.
