PSAs are short messages broadcast on TV or radio.Their purpose is to inform the public of important health and safety issues.

Suggested issues: water quality or water use, air quality,teenage smoking and drinking,Internet addiction,saving endangered species,clean environment.

Cigarettes, your life ends with it. Having a good life only depends on you.
Respect everybody's health, including yours. Don't smoke.
Hi Gabriela,
DeleteGood work!I liked the message because the first line really describes the addicts' belief: "I am not going to become and addict."
Thanks for sharing it!

While you drink, someone born
ReplyDeleteBut after, when you drive, someone die
Hi Mila!
DeleteThank you for sharing your PSA!I think your message really makes people reflect before they drink and drive.
Teacher Érika.
People call it the matrix, I call it being on drugs.Come and leave the matrix with me.
ReplyDeleteHi João!
DeleteI think the first sentence is catchy because it made me curious to read what the PSA is about.Addiction to drugs is really a big concern!
Thanks,
Teacher Érika.
I'M HARD HEADED
ReplyDeleteMom says I have to wear a helmet when I ride my bike or I have to walk.
A fatal injury is 20 times more likely without a safety helmet. Wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of a fatal injury by 85%!
Be hard headed. Helmets save lives.
Hi Beatriz!
DeleteI like the double interpretation the word "hard headed" can provide in the context.It makes you PSA catchy.Good work!
Thanks.
