What's this content for?

In this writing task, a list of plants that are supposed to be toxic will be given. You are supposed to write a short summary to tell our readers about their harm to humans and generate two questions that people may ask.

We desire a simple and accurate description. In some cases, plants are “partially” toxic even they are wildly eaten. We should arrange our words, neither ignore its toxicity nor cause misunderstanding and panic.

Requirement for Toxic Summary
1. General Requirements:
  1. Word Count: around 100 words. (For Japanese or Korean, 200 characters, for Chinese 160 characters.) It is ok to run slightly longer if all the information is important.
  2. Talk about Information on Toxic to Human Only: General information on this plant and its harm to animals or environments will be presented in other sections, please focus on the toxic side here.
  3. Make sure the Information mentioned is complete: if skin contact with the plant results in only a mild reaction, but ingestion would cause major illness, a summary that included only the mild reaction would be incorrect.
2. Cover the following information (in relative order if applicable):

2.1     In what way are people most likely to be poisoned? (Mandatory, and must be addressed first)

  • airborne allergy
  • allergy by contact
  • mistakenly ingested (confused with other plants)
  • purposeful ingestion (unless with reasonable intention, this should come last)

2.2      Level of urgency when poisoned (Mandatory)

  • Will it cause serious illness or death?
  • Will it cause minor or moderate illness?
  • Are there conditions/complications likely to make the effects more severe?

2.3     Poisonous parts (Mandatory)

  • Etc.
  • Saps?
  • Leaves?
  • Whole plant?

2.4     Symptoms of poisoning (Mandatory)

2.5      Which factors may lead to contact? (if applicable)

  • e.g., it is a common plant found in parks; it’s a popular houseplant; it resembles a popular wild edible, etc.

2.6      Which groups of people are likely to be poisoned? (if applicable)

  • Children? Seniors?
Special Attentions
  1. Do not give ANY medical treatment advice. (Our app will suggest the users consult a doctor in case of poisoning risk.)
  2. If after thorough research, the plant appears to be non-toxic to humans, please inform us at your earliest convenience.
An Example of Toxic Summary

*【The text inside brackets is just for explanation】

  • Yellow oleander (Cascabela thevetia) 93 words
    _COMMON_NAME_ is highly toxic when ingested 【In what way are people most likely to be poisoned】, and has led to several fatalities in children 【Level of urgency when poisoned】. All parts of the plant contain toxic components, however, the fruit and seeds elicit the most severe reaction 【Poisonous parts】. If ingested, _COMMON_NAME_ may cause swelling and irritation of the lips, tongue, and throat, gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea, dizziness, or irregularities in heart rhythm 【Symptoms of poisoning】. Dermatitis and skin blistering can also occur as a result of direct contact made between the plant’s sap and the skin, so ensure that you wear protective equipment if handling this plant 【Factors that lead to contact】.

* (_COMMON_NAME_ = Yellow oleander) its singular common name

Requirement for Quick Questions
1. General Requirements:

1.1.        Two questions: two different questions are supposed to be generated in this section. And a quick answer for each question should be attached.

1.2.        Focus on Toxic to Human: only mention the problems related to human health. 

 

2. How to…

2.1        You can try searching the plant’s name on google and see in what way people often ask. It is OK to find appropriate questions there, but of course, you don’t have to limit yourself to the existing questions.

2.2        There should be a proper distinction between the two questions.

2.3         Don’t worry that the questions already have answers in the summary. Just find the questions that more people may concern.

2.4        The answers did not have a word count limit. We’d prefer a short and direct answer, with the simplest explanation.

Paste as plain text
