dictation:
The W. H. O. chief said climate change will also
get(hit) the poor the hardest but, to a greater or
a less (lesser extent), will affect all countries. She said more
(droughts, floods) and
(storms) mean greater
demends(demands) for
(humanitarian aid). And she warned it will mean a growing number of environmental refugees. And, thirdly, Doctor Chan warned
the continue threat and damage in (of a continued threat of pandemic
influenza). She said it would be very unwise for governments not to prepare. She urged
delicates(delegates) to support a W. H. O. resolution on the sharing of
in (influenza viruses) for research and to make
(vaccines) that seems widely available. The W. H. O. this week also released
it's World
Heath (Statistics) report for two thousand eight. Agency officials say fewer people are dying
**the(of infectious) diseases. In more and more countries, they say, the chief causes of death are conditions such as heart disease and
(stroke). By two thousand thirty, noncommunicable conditions are
(expected) to cause more than three-fourths of all deaths. Almost one-third of deaths will result from cancer, heart disease and traffic accidents. The number one cause of preventable deaths is tobacco. More than eight million tobacco-related deaths are
(predicted) in two thousand thirty. -- eighty percent of them in developing countries.
