Did you know that heart disease kills more people per year than cancer, war, terrorism, hunger, suicide, diabetes, respiratory diseases and mental disorders combined? "Pathogen" is the scientific name for "germ ? Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens. When your mom says to wash your hands because of germs, she wants you to get all the pathogens off your hands so they won't go into your mouth and body. Maybe after reading this, you will wash your hands a bit more! cancers are primarily environmental diseases with 90-95% of cases attributed to environmental factors and 5 10% due to genetics? in 5,000 years of human history, only 2 diseases have been eradicated: smallpox and rinderpest? many common disease-causing bacteria are actually harmless bacteria that have been infected by a virus? diabetes was the third leading cause of death by disease in America? It has increased 50 percent since 1965, and today affects at least 15 million people. malaria is one of the earliest ever recorded? The first record of it dates back over four thousand years. Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 3
What is an infectious disease? infectious means can spread from one person to another. Fill in the blanks with the words from the box below to know more about the several ways infectious diseases can be transmitted. influenza humans shaking spread mosquitoes objects undercooked contaminated Food and water contamination - Some diseases are passed on by _________food or water.

Write down the following questions before moving to the passage on the next slide. A) Decide whether these statements are true or false. statement True False 1. It is not possible to recover from malaria. 2. Sufferers of malaria notice the symptoms within a few days of being infected. 3. Today, many people are killed by malaria.

Now read this text about the malaria disease and answer the questions that you covered on the previous slide. Malaria is a mosquito borne disease that is caused by a parasite (a kind of pathogens). It is found in many countries including sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, as well as Central and South America. If a person is bitten by an infected Anopheles mosquito, symptoms typically occur within 1 - 4 weeks. The most common symptoms include shaking, chills, high fever, headache, sweats, body aches, and tiredness. Severe complications and death may also occur if the infection is not treated promptly. Today, half a billion people are diagnosed with it annually. Most of the cases are in Africa. Fortunately, not as many people are killed by this disease today. But, during World War II, over one hundred thousand U.S. troops were killed by malaria, which shows the devastating nature of this disease. While malaria is a serious illness that can be deadly, prevention methods are available. Rarely, people can get malaria through a blood transfusion or infants can get malaria before or during delivery if the mother is infected. Persons who have lived or traveled to areas where malaria is present are usually deferred from donating blood for 1- 3 years. Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 7

Sufferers of malaria notice the symptoms within a few days of being infected. 3. Today, many people are killed by malaria. B) Match the words in bold in the text to their definitions.

Grammar Time Expressing Future The Future Continuous Tense versus the Simple Future Tense The simple future tense (will/won t + inf) is a verb tense that is used when an action is expected to occur in the future and be completed. Example: I will arrive at five o clock. I will arrive is the simple future tense of the verb to arrive . You arrive once; beyond that, you can t keep on arriving. However, once you get there, you may be doing something that goes on continuously, at least for a certain period of time. Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 9
Grammar Time Expressing Future The Future Continuous Tense versus the Simple Future Tense We can use the future continuous (will/won't be + -ing form) to talk about future actions that: 1) will/won t be in progress at a specific time in the future: Examples: When you come out of school tomorrow, I'll be boarding a plane. You can visit us during the first week of July. I won't be working then. 2) we see as new, different or temporary: Today we're taking the bus but next week we'll be taking the train. He'll be staying with his parents for several months while his father is in recovery. It is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root verb + -ing). Important Note: The future continuous tense is only used with action verbs, because it is possible to do them for a duration. (Action verbs describe activities like run, think, and see. Stative verbs describe states of existence, like be, seem, and know.) = To use the will + be + present participle construction with a stative verb would sound very odd indeed. Examples: I will be being stressed tomorrow during my science test. INCORRECT I will be stressed tomorrow during my science test. CORRECT Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 10
Practice: Decide whether you have to employ the simple future or the future progressive tense with will (be doing) / won t (be doing) in the following sentences. 1) - I ______________ (to do) my homework when my father comes home. will be doing - Don t worry, I _________________ (to help) you with your homework. will help will be playing 2) I ________________ (not to be) able to meet you because my brother and I ________________ (to play) will not be able soccer at school tomorrow evening. will be practising 3) Next Friday I _______________ (to study) for my French exam and my sister _______________(to practise) will be studying her choreography. 4) When I arrive at school, my classmates _________________(to correct) their homework and my teacher will be correcting _______________ (to prepare) a new lesson. will be preparing 5) When you get off the train, I _______________( to wait) for you by the ticket machine. will be waiting 6) You re carrying too much. I ____________( to open) the door for you. will open Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 11
Other Forms to Express Future Be going to-future Use of the be going to future to express planned actions or intentions in the future. We use it for decisions that we made before the moment of speaking. e.g. I am going to clean the car and you can pack the suitcase. (I have decided how to do it.) when You are certain that something is going to happen in the future (logical consequence). e.g. Look at that car! It is going to crash into the yellow one. Form: to be (am, are, is) + going to + infinitive 1. Affirmative sentences in the going to-future e.g. I am/ mgoingto play handball. You are/ re goingto miss the train. 2. Negative sentences in the going to-future e.g. He s/ is not/isn t going to play handball. You are not/aren tgoing miss the train. 3. Questions in the going to-future e.g.Am I going to play handball? Are you going to play handball? Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 12
Other Forms to Express Future present continuous to talk about the future The present continuouscan refer to the future. It shows that we have already decided something and usually that we have already made a plan or arrangements: e.g. The band is visiting Denmark next May. I am taking the train to Paris tomorrow. Form (To be (am, are, is + Verb + ing ) Sentences with this use of the present continuous always have words or phrases which refer to future time Examples: tonight tomorrow this weekend next Monday, next Friday this Saturday next week next weekend next year this evening etc. Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 13

Some old people ________________ a lot of medical help. are going to need 4. _______you ____________a physician s assistant? Are going to be Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 14
B) Say if the Present Continuous expresses an activity happening now or a planned future arrangement. an activity happening now 1. It s eight o clock, Meg. Are you getting ready for school? a planned future arrangement 2. What time are Paul and Paula coming for dinner tonight? 3. Why are you laughing? an activity happening now a planned future arrangement 4. She is working late next Friday? Eng.301 Unit 4 lesson 2 Malaria 15
C) Put the words between brackets in the correct form to express the future. 1. I _____________(play) chess tonight with Tom and Ann. am playing 2 It's very cold. I ______________ (light) a fire. am going to light 3. We __________(have) some friends to lunch tomorrow. are having 4. We ___________(take) the children to the seaside this summer. are taking 5.
