Integrated writing task TOEFL The article and the lecture are about the AIDS disease, in particular they deal with how to afford drugs costs in poor countries. The text's author explains that AIDS Advocacy Groups are helping in several ways to get such medicines. However, the lecturer casts doubt on this claim. To begin with, the reading suggests that major drugs companies should sell medicines at a lower price to those who live in squalor, since these companies profits are considerably elevated. Nevertheless, the lecturer objects to this idea. He holds that drugs companies have to survive in business world by making profits. No profits for the companies means to stop developing such drugs. Secondly, according to the reading, governments should buy medicines in large quantities in order to get them cheaper. Buying individually is supposed to be more expensive. However, the lecturer points out that poor countiries governments are poor themselves, so they couldn't afford these investments. Finally, the text's author believe that poor countries should create their own cheaper versions of AIDS drugs, what apparently would increase the employment rate while dicreasing shipping costs. In contrast, the lecturer casts doubt on this claim by explaining that this would be an illegal practice as well as dangerous, that surely would consist in creating low quality drugs that could even kill patients.

Nur ein Tag für den TestDaF... ANGST :D Am Donnerstag mache ich den TestDaF. Wenn alles glückt, werde ich nächstem Jahr in Deutschland, um ein Master zu studieren. Wenn alles super super voll gelingt, dann Berlin! Ich war schon in Heidelberg vor 6 Monaten und es war eine der besten Erfahrungen, dass ich gemacht habe. Also, was auch immer geschehen mag, brauche ich gute Stufe von Deutsch. Ich würde gerne Muttersprachler kennenlernen, die vielleicht Spanisch lernen möchten :)
