John’s illness

Slide image

2


It is early spring now and many people catch cold. A month ago I suddenly fell ill. I ran a high temperature. I sneezed and had a sore throat. Also I had a headache and a cough. My whole body ached. My mother made hot tea for me but that didn't help me much. She wanted to give me some pills too, but there weren't any in our house. My mother told me to stay in bed, then she called a doctor. The doctor came. He examined my lungs, felt my pulse and took my temperature. He said that I had had the flu and told me to stay in bed and to have a rest. He prescribed me the treatment. My mother bought me all the necessary pills and other medicine at the chemist’s. I followed all the doctor's instructions and very soon I felt much better. In ten days I fully recovered and went to school again.
