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
