A: Hello, Mrs Thompson.
B: Hi, Ann. Oh dear. What's the
matter?
A: I don't
feel well.
B: Have a seat and tell me what's
wrong.
A: I've got a
headache, I feel
dizzy and my
throat's sore. It
hurts when I
swallow.
B: I see. Let's take your temperature, shall we?
A: OK.
B: Hmm. You have a
fever, Ann. That means you're
coming down with the flu. It isn't serious so don't
worry. Plus, you can go home early!
A: Can I go to basketball practice tomorrow?
B: I'm
afraid not. You should get
plenty of rest, have warm baths and drink lots of water.
A: How long will I feel like this?
B: You'll feel better in a couple of days.
A: Achoo!
B: Bless you. Here's a
tissue.
