READ
Good to see you’re back, Emma. Why were you absent for a week? Are you well?
|
Hey, Ron. I caught a flu last week. I couldn’t get up to prepare for school until today. |
|
That’s too bad. I had colds last month. It was terrible. I hope you’re okay now.
|
|
Thanks, Ron. I’m feeling a lot better now. I think I just needed some rest. I slept for almost 9 hours yesterday, but I still feel a bit weak. |
|
Take some rest, Emma. Let me know if you need anything. Take care of yourself and eat well. After all, “health is wealth”.
|
|
I totally agree with that. Anyway, shouldn’t you be preparing for gym class? |
|
Well, I asked Ms. Roberts for me to be excused from gym class today. I hate baseball. Besides, I often get dizzy because of the heat.
|
|
I see. Take care, Ron. See you around. |
