Health Problems

Instructions: Read the following information and answer the questions according to
what you read.

My name is Malaika. I am ten years old. I feel terrible today. I don’t like being sick
because I can’t go to school and play with my friends. I have a bad fever. When I
have a fever, I should take a lot of medicines. My mother says I should go to the
doctor too. My little brother is sick too. He has a terrible stomach ache. He shouldn’t
eat the pizza that Mum buys. He also should take pills and eat chicken soup to be
better. Sometimes, when I have a sore throat, my mother says I should drink ginger
tea and avoid cold drinks. I hope to be better soon.
