American this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs
invented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad
effects are relatively mild and it is cheap.
For millions of people suffering from arthritis (关节炎). It is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in
short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading
cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized
among users.
Although aspirin was at first sold by a German company in1899, it has been around much longer than
that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greek, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today
are known to contain salicylates (水杨酸碱), the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was
a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915,
aspirin tablets were available in the United States.
A small quantity of aspirin (two-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by
interfering with (干预) some of the body's reactions.

I am an English teacher, with over 15 years' experience of teaching in London. I started
the DailyStep audio email lesson service because I noticed that when I started their English
course, my students' speaking and listening skills were much weaker than their reading and
writing skills. In my view, this is because education in school does not focus enough on
communication skills. DailyStep is designed to remedy this situation by offering more practice
in speaking, listening and vocabulary.
I am crazy about the English language and it is a real pleasure for me to see the
development of my students' language skills.
I majored in (以….为专业)law at university and then worked for three years as a
researcher and journalist for Sky television and BBC magazines. I decided to change to
English teaching because of my love of the English language and my wish to move into more
satisfying work.
Then I qualified (取得资格)as an English teacher in 1992. My first teaching job was at
a language school in Covent Garden, London, where I taught examination classes and
Business English . After two years, I moved to the Nippon Club where I taught General
English and Business English courses for 9 years. I also developed a unique course cal
led
British Society & Culture, covering all areas of British life, such as politics, law, e
ducation & music. At the same time, taught Business, Financial& Law English in the financial
centre of London. My students included staff (工作人员)from banks and law firms.
As well as running the DailyStep website, I also provide in-company English speech
training for companies in London. If you have an important speech coming up and would like
some information about how I can help you, please email me at jane@dailystep.com.
