Speaking Whats the most serious social
problem today?
Sample I think that AIDS is the most serious
problem because millions of people are dying
from the disease and there is no cure for it.
Another reason is that anyone can get AIDS and
we must make sure that everyone knows how to
protect themselves. Because so many people are
living with AIDS, we must learn to treat them
properly and not make their life more difficult.
If we were to learn more about AIDS, we could
stop the disease and help those who have it.
4
I think that drugs like cocaine are the most
serious problem because it kills people and
creates other problems, for example crime. This
problem is more serious than AIDS. First , Its
easier to protect yourself against AIDS. Second,
drugs destroy the lives of more people than just
the one who is using the drugs.
5
To decide which problem is the most serious , we
must look at all parts of the problem. Alcohol
is, in my opinion, the most serious problem. One
reason is that so many people drink and that it
is often thought to be fun or cool to drink.
Young people ,especially men, are led to believe
that drinking alcohol is normal and safe.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Drinking damages your brain and your body and
causes many other problems. When people get
drunk, they act
6

• irresponsibly and often get violent. Drunken
  husbands beat up their families drunken
  youngsters destroy things and disturb the peace,
  sometimes even committing crimes. If people were
  to stop drinking they could enjoy a healthier and
  safer life.
