Abidjan is an overcrowded city because there are too many people who live in it. Most of them
came from their villages in search of a better life, that is rural exodus. But we notice that some
people’s living standards have not changed, they live in misery in dirty slums that are
sometimes dangerous and not healthy. They l

abandoned their village because of natural phenomenons like drought that destroys their
plantations.
Hey everybody !!! I’m the representative of an international NGO working for the promotion
of youth development and I’m here today to talk about the consequences of rural exodus.
First, let’s say that rural exodus is when people who can work decide to leave their village for
cities. And the reasons for that are so numerous . There are for example, poverty, search for a
better life, more happiness and so on and so forth. However, let me tell you that this
phenomenon has a lot of negative effects. To start, let’s say that the workforce abandon the
village and that increase poverty, depopulation and famine there. In cities, problems like
insecurity, lack of accomodation and even women prostitution may appear too mainly because
there isn’t enough work for everybody.
If I were you, I wouldn’t leave my village because we have to create happiness wherever we
are not move to another place. Thanks for your attention and I hope, you’ll follow my advice.

Transcript of the podcast
Every country has its constitution inspired by the standard of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights for its citizens to follow. But some want to show that they are above the law.
They do things how they like and how they want. Our government shouldn’t permit that to
happen. On the contrary, they should enforce the law and punish those who don’t respect it.
Punishing is different from torturing. And if someone wants to create troubles, they must be
held in jail until they understand what life in society means. This is the aim everybody should
help to achieve. We should exemplarily do what was defined by the United Nation’s Human
Declaration. That’s how our country can become strong, respected and appreciated by the whole

TEXT
Some people say that the disease AIDS is just an invention to frighten people. But for
doctors, when you are tested positive to the HIV, it means that you contracted the virus.
In most cases, this contamination is due to various causes. Sexual intercourse for example
is one of the principal causes. In addition, we have girls’ abuse or rape and any other cases
where patients need blood transfusion because they lack of blood. The infected person
loses weight and gets thinner and thinner. He feels tired and sweats a lot. Sometimes he
loses his hair and suffers from constant fever. Ugly pimples may appear on his skin. Never
go to bed with your partner without protection. Use condoms and be faithful. Otherwise,
if you catch AIDS, you will have long and painful death. You must be careful.
