you should only eat food your parents
allow you to eat okay

wash my hands before every meal or i
will have a stomach
she is right
did you eat something wrong jake
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
