you should only eat food your parents

allow you to eat okay

well emily had a business trip for a few

days

there was some food leftovers and i put

it in the fridge but i forgot

i found it two days ago and thought it

would still be good staying in the

fridge so i ate it

i think it was

contaminated

i came home and he had been already very

sick once i realized he got dehydrated i

took him to the hospital

jake you should be really more careful

with what you put in your mouth

situation 2 visiting claire who fainted

and was exhausted from fasting

[Music]

claire your friends came to visit you

hi claire

blair how are you feeling now

hi everyone thanks for coming over to

see me i feel better now

we were worried today when you fainted

in class i’m sorry for making you all

worried

it’s okay but what happened claire you

seem very tired these days

i tried to lose weight i was on a diet

last month but it didn’t work

i saw an intensive fasting program

online and followed that program today

is the third day of fasting

your body must be exhausted from a lack

of nutrients

or you had low blood sugar because you

starved yourself

i think you should not fast so suddenly

every day

instead try to eat less each meal and

exercise consistently

you’re right i should not rush to lose

weight

we bring you some fruit now rest

yourself we hope you will recover soon

okay thanks for visiting me it is so

kind of you all

not at all rest claire we have to leave

now see you soon

see you then bye bye

[Music]

situation five visiting betty after her

minor surgery

[Music]

hi betty

hi everyone

betty how are you

jack told us you got surgery this

morning so we plan to visit you in the

afternoon

yeah why didn’t you tell us we bring you

some fruit

thanks a lot girls i’m fine don’t worry

i didn’t tell you because it was just a

minor surgery

what’s wrong with your hand why did you

have to take surgery

do you remember the bump near my wrist

oh that one what is it

it’s a gangolian cyst

is it dangerous

no it’s not

if it is not dangerous why surgery

though

normally these cysts are painless but

the doctor said mine was a bit big and

it pressed on a nerve making me feel

pain whenever i turned my wrist

did the doctor say what caused it

he said mine could be from joint injury

i used to hurt my wrist while playing

tennis a long time ago

how are you feeling now

the anesthetic has worn off so i’m

feeling pretty painful right now but

still tolerable

how long will your wrist be back to

normal

the doctor said it takes two to three

weeks for the pain to go away

but it can take up to six months for my

wrist to turn around normally i will

need to exercise it

alright buddy we are glad that you don’t

have a serious health problem

we will leave now and let you take a

rest betty

okay thanks a lot for visiting me today

goodbye girls

bye bye
