Writing task
Sample writing
A programme to help people with AIDS and to teach people about the disease has been running for six years in Yunnan and several other provinces.
The Red Cross trains young people to teach others about HIV / AIDS and how to protect themselves from the disease. The programme is very successful because the teachers are the same age as the students.
The Red Cross wants to make sure that everyone has information about this deadly disease. This is because the disease is spreading quickly.
The government says that it must act quickly to inform everyone of the danger. If they don’t do this, more and more people would be exposed to the disease.
