Reading

Luis is a university student. On Saturday morning, he feels sick. He has a headache, a cough, and a sore throat. He also feels a little bored because he can’t go out with his friends.

Luis can usually play soccer and swim, but today he can’t play sports. His friend Ana visits him in the afternoon. Ana says, “You should rest and drink water. You shouldn’t play soccer with a headache.”

Luis agrees. He feels a little scared because he also has a fever. At home, Luis can still do some things. He can cook simple food, but he can’t drive or exercise.

In the evening, he listens to music and watches a movie. He feels better and a little excited to rest and recover.  Luis thinks good advice is important. When you are sick, you should listen to your body and take care of yourself.
