Are you Sick Talking about health problem Everyday English Speaking

[Music]

talk

about being sick a sick

classmate

what’s up guys nothing much

have you done the homework mr watson

gave us

it’s due tomorrow so i haven’t done

anything

oh really what a relief

but i’m afraid i got bad news

chris is sick so he won’t come to class

today

he is sick with what exactly

nobody told us i hope he is still doing

fine

well i only knew about this minutes ago

i heard his mother talking with our

teacher in the hall

she mentioned him catching a cold last

night or something

is he okay his mother sounds not so

worried about his condition so i assume

he is fine

if it’s really just a common cold he

will be fine in a few days

should we call him to check up on him

i guess he could use some encouragement

but it’s only seven in the morning

i think he is still asleep

him have his rest sick people

desperately need sleep to recover

we can text him though he can read it

whenever he wakes up

good idea what should we tell him

just simply explain how we know he is

ill and ask

him for his condition first

then tell him we got him covered on

schoolwork and other news

also tell him to take his medication

seriously

there was one time that he was sick but

delayed

taking medication so it continued for

like two weeks

he got ill more severe than a comet cold

i can’t remember its name though

i recalled anything else

should we visit him after school

okay but let’s buy him some fruits along

the way

an apple a day keeps the doctor away

and some oranges would help out a lot

i agree then i’ll tell him in advance

what else can we do to help him

mr watson homework knowing his nature i

doubt he has given it a single thought

well then to help him is to help

ourselves too

[Music]

hey guys chris is replying to me

what did he say he thanked us for caring

and he got the best person around to

look after him

does he mean his mom yeah i also assume

he was talking about his mom too

anyway chris told me that he is going

well and he had enough fruits to

last a week he would appreciate a visit

from us though

then we will go straight to his house

after school

i guess so tell him that and also

mention

that tomorrow is the due date for mr

watson’s homework

and i’ll tell him that we will come over

to finish that thing too

it’s for the best okay

i’ll tell him exactly that

well then we will talk later
