April Week Three

Picture
This week's discussion centered around a hot topic in the US, the opioid epidemic that is hitting the United States hard.

Listening:
Learners can listen to something from VOA about the rise in the drug crisis. You can try something harder from the Listening Lab about drug addiction,  or from breaking news English about over the counter medication.

For original version, check out two episodes from the Science Vs Podcast: How America Got Hooked, and Kicking America's Addiction. If you happen to have Netflix, you could watch their documentary, Heroine.

Reading:
Learners can check try some articles from VOA about the CDC's information about the current drug crisis, and big pharma's role in the debacle.

For original version check out articles about Prince's overdose, or an article about a family member's personal connection with the drug crisis.

Writing:
This week you learned a lot about this horrible epidemic sweeping the United States. Please write a report examining its causes, challenges, and possible solutions.
Best,
Kelly
