physical health and mental health. So a person who lacks either is not a healthy person. We think of several issues that may concern people most, they are: food security, medical service problems, AIDS and effects of environmental pollution on health.

T: Good points. Other issues concerning people most are: nutrition and health condition, medical emergency treatment, mental illness, false medical ads, medicine security and birth defects. If you are interested in any of these issues, you may search on the Internet for more information. Now turn to page 17, Warming Up. Here is a list of health issues that concern young people the most. Can you think of other issues that are also important? Work with your partners, and try to make the list longer.

A sample list:

AIDS and infections, parenting, relationships, food and nutrition, family issues, environmental health, domestic violence, air pollution, cancer, anxiety, birth control, dental health, divorce

Let the Ss write the list on the blackboard and have a discussion on the health issues listed.

T: Now, look at the issues on the blackboard and the issues listed in the textbook on page 17. Which issue do you think is the most important one? Why? Work in groups and have a discussion.

After discussion.

T: Which group would like to share your opinions with the class?
