Answer 1

Nurse: Hello, how can I help you today? What’s wrong?

Simon: Well, Nurse, I’m feeling really ill!

Nurse: Oh dear. Let me ask you a few questions. Do you have a temperature?

Simon: No, it’s not very high – I don’t feel hot. But I’ve got a stomach ache. It really hurts when I walk or sit down or eat anything. What did you have for breakfast?

Nurse: I’m not sure yet. What’s the matter with me?

Simon: I’ve been sneezing a lot too.

Nurse: I see. You should lie down and take an aspirin. Do you want me to go and get some food for you?

Simon: Err... nothing, the same as usual. Do I need to go home and go back to class, Nurse?

Nurse: No, you don’t! Missing breakfast is very unhealthy, especially if you do it every day! You should go and get some food, eat it all and then go back to class.

Simon: Oh, no! What’s good for your brain?

Nurse: And start eating a healthy breakfast every morning and drink lots too, especially water and juice because they’re good for your brain.

Simon: OK, Nurse. Thanks for your help!
