How does he express his warning?Task 11Study the following suggestion. Then, give your opinion whether you are in line or against the suggestion. But first, study the words below.rehabilitation (kb)punishing (kkt)stacking (kkt)peddler (kb)trap (kb)addict (kb)jail (kb)prison (kb)arrest (kkt)packed up (kk)dealer (kb)trafficker (kb)wholesaler (kb): rehabilitasi: menghukum: menumpuk/ menimbun: penjual khususnya narkoba: perangkap: pecandu: penjara: penjara: menahan: berjejalan/ padat: penjual (narkoba): pembeli dan penjual, tengkulak: bandarDrug users are actually ill people who need to be helped. Rehabilitation is one of the main things that they should get. Instead of punishing and stacking them in prisons which are getting full, the government should provide rehabilitation for them. Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out of a trap, which they might accidentally step on. They then, can start a normal life again. On the other hand, if we only arrest drug users and send them to jail it doesn’t solve the problem because the drug users will still be addicts unless being properly treated. Jails will be filled up with drug users. Moreover, the users will still be users after released from prison. They then, will be arrested again. By providing rehabilitating programmes for drug users and forcing them to participate on the programmes is way better than only arresting them and do nothing on their illness. Moreover, the prison will not be so full and packed up with users. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned instead.The Government should Provide Rehabilitation Programme for Drug Users

Ask them the expressions they say when they advise them. Report SheetName Student Number: ::NameExpressionsBy the Way...The illegal importation of drugs to Britain is a serious offence and can lead to heavy fines and impris-onment. The possession of any drug - such as opium, heroin, morphine, cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine (including Benzedrine), LSD and ecstasy - is illegal even for personal use in a private place. Supplying these drugs is a more serious offence; the police and customs officers are empowered to stop and search you, your vehicle and, on warrant, your home. Taken from: www.eap.ucop.edu
69All Students Should Get A Drug-Free Education.2. Read and WriteTask 15Read the following text and then discuss the meanings of the following words according to the context. Then, answer the questions.attendant conjunction punitive (ks)refractory undergo (kkt)withdrawal (kb): ....: ....: ....: ....: ....: ....The ‘Report’ of the New York Academy of Medicine agrees with the objective of stopping drug addiction and with the efforts at rehabilitation. It disapproves of the punitive approach and the fantastically brutal punishment. It proposes a more humane program as follows: 1. There should be a changed attitude toward the addict. He is a sick person, not a criminal. 2. The most effective way to get rid of drug addiction is to take the profit out of illegal drug traffic. The addict should be able to get his drugs at low cost under Federal control in conjunction with efforts to have him undergo withdrawal. 3. There should be medical supervision of existing addicts with strong efforts toward their rehabilitation. This would involve persuasion of the addict to go through treatment and rehabilitation, evaluation of the methods of treatment, and supervision of addicts who were unwilling or stubborn to treatment. 4. There should be no reduction in the efforts toward the elimination of the supply of illegal drugs. Every effort should be made to arrest drug peddlers, wholesalers, and importers. While the addict should be considered as a sick person and treated appropriately, the nonaddict trafficker should feel the full punishment of the law. 5. By means of all educational media, radios, televisions, the press, lectures, books, and classrooms, there should be a concentrated effort to inform the public of the dangers attendant on the use of narcotic drugs. 6. Such a program would provide enough data relating to the number of addicts, the origin of individual usage, the number under treatment, the outcome of various forms of treatment, the number known to be unwilling to treatment, and similar information which is not now available. Such information would form a solid basis for better control, better rehabilitation, and better knowledge concerning the effect of narcotic addiction.Taken from: Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2007. © 1993-2006 Microsoft Corporation.

71All Students Should Get A Drug-Free Education.Task 17Read the following text, find the meaning of the following words. Then, summarize the text, but be sure to include the suggestion, reason behind the suggestion, and the conclusion .needle (kb)encourage (kkt)elderly (ks)disabled (kb)syringes (kb)prescription (kb)obtain (kkt)cut down (kkt): ....: ....: ....: ....: ....: ....: ....: ....A needle exchange program would only encourage more people to use drugs, in my opinion, and many would still share needles or reuse needles even if there was a program. Giving needles out for addicts to prevent the spread of disease, will only encourage them and others to do drugs more often. Furthermore, it may even encourage people who have never tried certain types of drugs, to try them because now they will get their needles for free. Do we really want to encourage this type of behavior? I wouldn’t think so.Moreover, by giving needles to addicts, we are also taking away from other programs that are already low on funding. The money for needle exchange would take away from Medicare programs that are there to help the elderly and disabled. There have already been enough Medicare cuts without the extra cuts this would bring about.Then you also have the problem of some who will not use the needles and will keep reusing the needles they already have. Most addicts are too far gone to worry about whether they reuse a needle or not, and many do not care about their chances of catching an infectious disease.In the early 1980’s, insulin and allergy syringes could be bought in any drug store without a prescription, so addicts had no problem obtaining needles if they had the money. Even though they did not need a prescription, they still continued to reuse needles and share with others. Consequently, it is still helping lead to the AIDS epidemic. In the early 1990’s, states started requiring that syringes be kept behind the counter in drugstores and requiring prescriptions for syringes were needed. This was a way to cut down on illegal drug use and reusing of needles. This was also an effort to stop the further epidemic of aids. It has not worked either, but the answer to the drug problem and the spread of diseases through used needles is not to equip addicts tools with which to continue their illegal activities.We must spend the money that the needle exchange program would cost in other areas to help stop the use of drugs altogether.
