Activity 1. Read the text and do the tasks below it.
Asthma is a disease of the lungs that is that is characterized by tightening of the air pathways. 
Common symptoms of asthma are wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, chest pain, tightness 
or pressure. Many of these conditions are reversible with medication but not 100% reversible in all 
patients. Some common features of asthma are inflammation, airway obstruction and airway 
sensitivity. Some risk factors for asthma are a family history of asthma, regular lung infections, 
presence of allergies, and exposure to tobacco smoke, low birth weight, and being male. 
The current rise in asthma cases among children is alarming. Asthma may occur at any age but is 
very common in children. Approximately 10% of children have asthma and that rate may rise in 
the future. Experts don't agree why the rate is increasing but here are some ideas: - Children are 
being exposed to more triggers (things that bring on asthma attacks; dust, tobacco smoke, 
pollution) 
-Children don't have strong immune systems (they aren't exposed to many childhood diseases.) 
-Decreases in the rates of breast feeding may also play a role. 
Asthma is a disease that causes many problems for the patient. However, it can be controlled. 
With the right information and medical attention medical professionals can prevent many deaths.
