October 25, 2010 CNN students

From today, I try to learn it by heart for making bigger my English re-partly.


Government and health officials are trying to help thousands of sick people there who have all been diagnosed with cholera. It's an illness caused by a bacteria, and people usually get it from food or water that's been contaminated. Cholera can be treated. But in severe cases, the disease can be fatal. More than 250 people have died from this cholera outbreak in Haiti. Part of the problem is that parts of Haiti haven't recovered from that massive earthquake back in January. People are still living in tents, and they don't have access to clean water. Paula Newton is in Haiti. She has more for us on the situation down there and how officials are trying to deal with this outbreak.
(above of the sentence is from CNN students)

According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dict
diagnosed: To say exactly what an illness or the cause of a problem

contaminated: Make impure by exposure to or addition of a poisonous or polluting substance.

outbreak: A sudden occurrence of something unwelcome, such as war or disease.

It is very awesome news. We people from the TV, We cannot understand really.
But if we went to next to their country and look at them.
We really understand that We cannot expected how it is.
