Two Pupils Talking on the Phone

Pupil 1: Hi! How are you feeling today?

Pupil 2: Not so great. I had to cough and sneeze all night.

Pupil 1: Oh no! Are you going to stay home from school?

Pupil 2: Yes, I think so. I have to run a high temperature.

Pupil 1: You should take some medicine and try to rest. Hopefully, you'll get better soon.

Pupil 2: I hope so too. I don't want to come down with a cold and stay in bed for too long.

Pupil 1: Just rest well, and you'll be able to recover from the illness in no time!

Pupil 2: Thanks for calling. I appreciate it.

Pupil 1: Anytime. Get well soon!
