Write a speech on Influenza A(H1N1) based on the given points.
I would like to bid a very good morning to my teachers and fellow friends. I have no doubt that all of us have heard about the Influenza A(H1N1) outbreak recently since it is a hot topic that is always being brought up by the local newspapers and television programmes.
For those of you who still do not know what Influenza A(H1N1), which I will refer to as H1N1 in future, is exactly, it is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease. It is caused by a new virus that is not yet known to man. In conjunction with Health Week, I, as the president of the Health Club, will explain the signs and symptoms of H1N1 as well as protective measures to take to prevent you from falling prey to this disease.
The signs and symptoms of H1N1 are not unlike the common flu. Nevertheless, if you have experienced or are experiencing high fever, persistent cough, sore throat or runny nose, it is advisable to see a medical practitioner immediately. There is no definite way to differentiate H1N1 from the common flu unless you get a proper medical examination.
To prevent yourself from contracting this disease, you should, at all times, avoid contact with those who appear unwell. In addition to that, you should stay out of crowded areas. You also need to avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. You must practice good health habits like wearing a surgical mask if you have fallen sick and washing your hands often. I would like to add that, while H1N1 is still out of control, we need to wash our hands much more often than usual, even to the point of being excessive. Last but not least, we need to say informed on the latest news concerning H1N1.
In conclusion, although H1N1 is highly contagious, it is very possible to contain it. If everyone were to take proper preventive measures, I am sure that, before long, H1N1 will simply be lost in history, never to be heard of again. After all, as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. With this, I would like to end my talk by saying that each and every one of us will make a contribution, whether it is destroy this virus outright or to let it continue to run rampant. Thank you.
