Dear Paula,
Hello paula, how are you? It’s been a month since I last heard from you. Well
I just wanted to tell you that I was in a hospital last week. According to the doctor
I was infected by dangue fever. At first, I felt my body became weak then fainted
when was studying in the classroom. Then I was taken to the hospital because of
the high fever.
At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor
immediately gave some treatments. Finally, I had to stay there for one week.
Every day the doctor kept me on a drip. At the seventh day, my condition was
getting better. After the final check, the doctor gave me permission to go home.
