B: I don’t know. It was there when I woke up this morning.
A: It’s rash. I’d better take you to see the doctor. How did you get that bruise on your leg?
B: I bashed it against the chair in my room.
A: Does it hurt?
B: A little , but not much.
A: Here. Put this wet towel on your face to keep your temperature down. I’ll take you to the doctor’s after breakfast.
B: If I’m better this afternoon, can I go to school?
A: If you are better, but I doubt you will be.

A: Have you seen Bill recently?
B: Yes. He’s in hospital with a bad back. One morning, he just couldn’t get out of bed. His wife called an ambulance and they took him to hospital. He’s been there for a few days now.
A: Daisy’s in hospital too. She got food poisoning last week. She thinks she got it from some bad seafood.
B: You have to be very careful with seafood. It tastes lovely, but it often causes upset stomachs. Have you heard anything from Tom?
A: He’s fine, but he had a fever last week. He probably just had a cold.
B: He might be allergic to pollen. My niece is allergic to pollen. It seems like she has a cold, but in fact it’s her allergy.
A: I see. My niece just flew back from Australia to visit. She’s got jetlag now. She’s just resting today, but we’ll probably go out somewhere tomorrow.
B: It’s nice that she’s back for a while. Thinking of all these ailments, I got a splinter the other day. It took a long time for me to get it out of my skin. Look.
A: Oh, your hand is still sore. You should put some ointment on it to stop the swelling.
B: That’s a good idea. You’ve got a nasty bruise on your hand.
A: Yes, I banged it against to cooker yesterday. It really hurt, but it’s OK now. the bruise will disappear soon.
