The reason that a

cold is so hard to
vaccinate against
or cure is
because it isn’t
caused by any
single disease.
People don’t
know when they
are about to catch
a cold, so they
wouldn’t have
known when to
take the BIRR4.
Rest, taking over-
the-counter
remedies, and
drinking plenty of
fluids are three
measures.

Sample answer:
When I had a cold as a child, my mother always
gave me tea with honey to soothe my throat. It did
work. I’ve also heard about people eating chicken
soup when they have a cold. I think that works
because the steam from the soup makes it easier
to breathe.

against the virus

Sample answer:
I think it is very exciting. Genetic engineering could
cure many genetic diseases, as well as help
people who are paralyzed. I’m not too worried
about the ethical questions because so far,
scientists have been very careful, and
governments are watching them closely to make
sure they do not cross ethical lines.
