4) Read and translate the report of Dr. David Thomas on drug addiction.
Then retell the report with 5–10 sentences starting them with “Doctor David Thomas said that …”.
Hello I’m Dr. David Thomas, I’m a practicing therapist in Tampa, Florida
with Whitford Thomas Group. Today we're going to talk a little bit about the
physiological causes of drug addiction. I think first when you start talking
about the physiology associated with drug addiction, first It’s important to
remember that anything you ingest in your system, be it alcohol and drugs
is toxic so because of toxicity, the more you use the drug and the more the
amount of the drug that you ingest, It’s going to create a much higher toxicity
in the system and therefore much more susceptible to organ involvement.
Another kind of physiological response to drug addiction would be diminished
short term memory. And that's probably, certainly more common in
marijuana use, certainly with alcohol as well. And there are physiological cause
of drug addiction would be in the area of heart palpitations with certain types
of drugs you can also get a lot of kind of dermatitises, rashes, things of that
sort. Increased heart rate is another result of drug addiction for certainly
physiological. Also as far as physiological effects, there's probably no organ
in your system that doesn’t get affected by drug addiction so whatever organ
you’re referring to whether it be the heart, the lungs, pancreas, they all have,
drugs have a profound affect. Again, more so with prolonged use and the
higher the consumption.
