[00:12.63]Exercise 1.3
[00:16.83]The office of National Drug Control Policy¹
[00:20.26]recently did a survey in the United² States
[00:23.23]about drugs and children and teenagers.
[00:27.06]The ONDCP interviewed more than 25,000 children
[00:32.29]and teenagers from 9 to 17 years old.
[00:36.40]The focus³ of the survey was on the things
[00:39.35]that help kids to keep away from drugs.
[00:42.28]They called them "anti-drugs".
[00:46.22]Children and teenagers said their most
[00:48.08]important personal "anti-drugs" were their
[00:51.29]families, sports,volunteer activities,
[00:54.91]and hobbies such as music and dancing.
[00:58.75]Many children also said that their personal
[01:01.56]beliefs and life goals help to keep them
[01:04.88]away from drugs.
[01:07.03]In the survey, many teenagers and children
[01:10.33]mentioned their families as their main
[01:14.64]This shows the influence of adults on teenagers
[01:18.81]"The words and actions of parents, or other
[01:21.69]adults, are very helpful in keeping children
[01:25.27]away from drugs,"said an expert from the ONDCP.
[01:30.73]According to the ONDCP,
[01:34.05]parents can help their children to keep away
[01:36.24]from drugs by encouraging them to develop
[01:40.91]hobbies and take part in free-time activities.
[01:44.31]These activities can become
[01:46.13]their children's "antidrugs".
[01:52.04]Exercise 2.1
[01:56.17]What to do if someone offers you drugs?
[02:00.47]Just say,"No,thanks."
[02:02.92]If the person insists,
[02:04.67]just say,"No" repeatedly⁴.
[02:07.88]Suggest other things to do instead,
[02:10.80]like "Let's play chess together."
[02:14.20]Mention the dangerous effects of drugs,
[02:16.84]like "Taking drugs will hurt your body."
[02:21.20]Change the subject.
[02:23.06]Talk about something else,
[02:24.66]like "Did you watch the basketball match
[02:27.38]last night?"
[02:29.64]Make him believe drugs are boring.
[02:32.33]Say,for example "Drugs are boring.
[02:35.31]I can't believe you need them!"
[02:38.74]Give an excuse based on an activity.
[02:42.25]Say, for example,"I don't take drugs.
[02:45.40]I'm training for the soccer team."
