Danias : What do you mean? Aspani : Well, I think if we stop the drug traffi c the drugs available in our society will decrease or even be gone. Danias : Yes, you’re right. But, what do you think we should do to stop the drug traffi c? Aspani : I think the police should increase its luggage checking in airports, harbours, city borders, etc. Danias : Wouldn’t that take time? We will need more policemen then. Aspani : Yes, of course.

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 fi lled 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, traffi ckers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned instead. The Government should Provide Rehabilitation Programme for Drug Users 67 All Students Should Get A Drug-Free Education. Task 12 Study the following explanation. Then, pronounce the words.

Report Sheet Name Student Number : : Name Expressions By the Way… The illegal importation of drugs to Britain is a serious offence and can lead to heavy fi nes 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.
