Event Description
1 грудня. Всесвітній день боротьби зі СНІДом
Всесвітній день боротьби зі СНІДом присвячений поширенню обізнаності про цю хворобу. Починаючи з 1981 року приблизно 40 мільйонів людей у всьому світі померли від СНІДу, що робить цю проблему однією з найважливіших проблем охорони здоров’я. Попри нещодавні покращення в лікуванні, ця хвороба все ще забирає близько 2 мільйонів життів щороку.
Слово дня: “ЗАНЕДУЖАТИ" - ставати хворим, захворювати.
Мій сусід занедужав, тому я приніс йому смаколиків.
The word of the day: contagious (adjective)/kənˈteɪ.dʒəs/
Meaning: aable to be spread from one person to another, usually by direct contact or close proximity.
Example: AIDS itself is not contagious, but it results from an infection with the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which can be transmitted from person to person.
