Task 1. Read the text and mark the statements True (T), False (F) or Not Stated (NS). I've always been a big fan of fairytales and castles. So last year, while travelling in Ireland with mum we stayed in a real medieval castle. We planned to stay for just one night. But the following morning I woke up with a terrible headache. I couldn't swallow and my throat was sore, and the temperature was high. There was no thinking about going anywhere. So mum asked the receptionist to call the doctor.
He arrived and diagnosed me with flu. And this meant at least a week of staying in bed. To be honest, I felt really bad. The doctor prescribed some pills, injections and mixtures. He said my condition was really serious. He promised to send a nurse every day to check me. I felt sorry because it was summer and the weather was beautiful. Anyway, there was no other way out but take medicines and sleep and wait.
The next evening my mother was sitting at my bed side, I was half asleep, so I don't remember everything, but my mother does. A nurse came in to check my temperature. Mum noticed that this nurse was odd looking. She was wearing this old-fashioned 1960s-style nurse clothing. But she had a kind face and a nice smile. She brought a new mixture and gave me just a small teaspoonful. Mum said she talked to her and said I would soon recover.
I woke up the following morning feeling much better. Mum phoned the doctor and said, "Kate is feeling much better. Thanks for sending that lovely lady with a new medicine to us yesterday." "But I haven't sent anyone, Mrs. Lawrence," he answered.
Who was she then? I'm still wondering. Really weird, don't you think so?
