Getting a Cold
Lucy has a cold. Her nose is blocked, she coughs a lot, and she has a sore throat. She felt
fine last night, but now she is very 1) . Lucy wants to go 2) and rest, but she thinks
she can’t. She is a student and her essay is due today. She needs to proof read it and print it so
the teacher gets it on time. Lucy’s 3) is very strict. He told Lucy that the 4)
must be handed in on time. There are eighteen 5) in the class, and they are all very
busy writing their essays. Hopefully, they won’t catch Lucy’s 6) . If the other students
catch colds, they might take several days off school and miss out on study.
