Step3: Group discussion
学生分成四个小组讨论各组选择的话题。各小组根据前面学到的知识浏览中国HIV抗体检测中心网页(www.hivcn.com)和课文的内容作典型发言。
第一组讨论什么是AIDS和HIV。
AIDS is the short form for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It is a disease that breaks down the human body's immune system and leaves a person defenseless against infection and illness. It is caused by HIV. HIV is a kind of virus, which was found by professor Luc Montagnier in France.
老师补充：Yes, so AIDS is a deadly and incurable disease and HIV is a terrible virus. Every day, nearly 17,000 people are found infected with AIDS, and there are up to several billion people living with HIV in the world now.
第二组讨论HIV病毒传播的途径。
HIV is transmitted via the following 3 routes: unprotected sex, infected blood transfusions. It can't be transmitted by swimming in a pool, sitting in toilet seats, shaking hands, kissing, talking, or eating with someone with HIV.
老师点评：Great! And HIV can't be transmitted by mosquitoes, other insects or giving blood. So on one hand, we must protect ourselves against HIV, keeping away from unhealthy sex and drugs. On the other hand, it is safe to be friends with people with HIV.
第三组讨论滋病传播最快的地区和原因。
AIDS is spreading fast in Africa and Asia, especially in the south of Africa & Southeast Asia. Take China for example, in 1985, there were only 1,500 cases of AIDS, but now, nearly one million people have been found infected with HIV. The reason is that there is a lack of proper care, prevention and education there.
老师补充：Wonderful! And AID is spreading fastest in Africa south of Sahara Desert. For example, the population with HIV there in 2004 increased by 50% compared with 2002.
第四组讨论病痛是不是艾滋病患者唯一的病苦。
The disease is not the only thing that AIDS patients suffer from. They also have to deal with people's fear of the disease. Many people do not know very much about AIDS and are afraid that any contact with people who have AIDS is dangerous. In fact the most dangerous thing is not knowing about the disease.
老师点评：Well done! That is to say, AIDS patients have to struggle against people's discrimination and prejudice, so their biggest suffering comes from human beings, no
