Fail in Ielts Mock test

Today, I was a little disappointed when I got my imitated test result. Many mistake happened in my listening and reading test, and no perfect topic in writing task 2. I had a strong Premonition about it, but fortunately, I find that the Ielts test is more different with our normal English, even in speaking test. I listen to the radios and read news on the internet every day, but the result of listening and reading test rejected my progress as I thought, so I think I must focus on Ielts learning style during the next two weeks.

Malaria Awareness Week – BBC Health

What is Malaria Awareness Week?
The annual campaign, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline Travel Health, aims to combat people's complacency of this potentially fatal disease, encouraging everyone to seek travel health advice before visiting a malarious country.

What is malaria?
The initial symptoms of malaria may be mild and can be confused with influenza and therefore not easy to recognise. Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscular aching, weakness, vomiting, cough, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
With the most severe form of malaria (falciparum), other symptoms related to organ failure may occur, such as acute renal failure, generalised convulsions, circulatory collapse, followed by coma and death. Deaths have occurred within 24 hours of the first symptoms of falciparum malaria.

Why is there a problem?
UK residents remain surprisingly ignorant to the health risks involved in travelling to countries with a high malaria risk, despite a recent estimate of 500 million worldwide cases each year of the most lethal form of the disease (falciparum).
Malaria is endemic in more than 100 countries and while figures indicate that more than five million of us travelled to high-risk malaria areas in 2004, 60 per cent of people failed to seek travel health advice before venturing abroad, with a quarter of those who were visiting a high-risk malaria area unaware of the risk.
Latest data from the Health Protection Agency reveals an increased fatality rate of 1.2 per cent in 2003 malaria cases, as the percentage of the most lethal form of malaria (falciparum) increased. Malaria is a preventable disease, yet each year on average 2,000 UK travellers return from overseas with malaria, and deaths in the UK doubled between 2002 and 2003 with 8 deaths in 2002 versus 16 in 2003.
All to often people are either not taking anti-malarial medication, taking the wrong medication for the country they are visiting, or not completing the course for the prescribed time after leaving the malarious area. People also need to be aware that symptoms can occur up to a year or even longer after exposure, and therefore should seek medical advice if any of the symptoms of malaria are suspected at any time after a visit to a malarious area.

Facts and stats
Malaria is endemic in more than 100 countries, which are visited by more than 125 million international travellers every year
Malaria is mainly found throughout the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world
A recent estimate shows that almost a third of Plasmodium falciparum cases are contracted in South East Asia and more than two-thirds of cases are contracted in Africa
Malaria causes at least one million deaths annually
WHO estimates that every day the disease kills 3,000 children

How can you protect yourself?
Follow the Advisory Committee on Malaria Prevention's ABCD guide:
A wareness of risk. Be aware of the risk of malaria in the areas they visit, take action to reduce risk, seek immediate medical attention in the event of fever or flu like symptoms.
Bites - prevent or avoid.Keep skin covered up particularly between sunset and sunrise, use insect repellents on clothes and exposed skin, use mosquito nets (impregnated with insecticide), leave air conditioning on all day and shut windows at night.
Compliance with appropriate chemoprophylaxis. Malaria can be prevented with the correct use of anti-malarials, seek advice from your GP, practice nurse or pharmacist well in advance of travelling.
Diagnose breakthrough malaria swiftly and obtain treatment promptly.
