Story

This morning I felt very bad. My head was uncomfortable, and my body ached too. I was a little scared, so I wanted to go and see the doctor.

I got to the hospital. There were a lot of people inside. I sat down to wait for the doctor. While I waited, I was very nervous, and very worried too. I thought: What will the doctor tell me?

Doctor Wang had me sit down. She asked me: What's wrong? Where do you feel unwell? I told her: My head is uncomfortable, and my body isn't good either. This morning, I didn't want to eat anything.

Doctor Wang smiled. She said: Don't worry, you're fine. You should rest more and drink more water. When I heard that, I felt a bit better.

Now I wasn't scared any more. I said to Doctor Wang: Thank you. She said: You're welcome, go home and rest well. I walked out of the hospital, thinking that today's doctor was really kind. I'm going to be fine.
