20 PROBLEMS OF TODAY

1)      Drugs
Důležitá slovíčka: take drugs, dose – dávka,  overdose – předávkovat, addiction- závislost, be addicted to – být závislý na
Soft drugs: marihuana, ectasy                                                  Hard drugs: cocaine, pervitin, heroin
Why do people take drugs?
Usually they want to run away from their problems. Very dangerous à they can overdose, they need a lot of money for their dose à they have to steal
      
     2)  Terrorism
Many terroristic organizations – e.g- AL-Kaida, Taleban, Hamas, ETA. Some of them are connected with religion (náboženství).
They try to frighten (vystrašit) people using bomb-attacks, kidnapping (únosy lidí)
The most famous teroristic acts were in NY (11/9/2001) – WTC, in London in 2005
     3) Famine
- it´s a problem in countries of the Third World (poor countries of Asia and Africa)

    4) Homelessness
It is a social problem.
It can be connected with drugs, because many of homeless people are drug addicted or they are alcoholics and  they have lost their jobs and homes
They live in very poor conditions (poměrech) – under bridges, etc.
They beg (žebrají).
