第 1 课:Expressions About Health-3

The doctor told me I had influenza or the flu.

But she told me I would recover soon. She said I was over the worst of the disease.

She told me to rest at home and to stay away from other people, because the flu can spread. It is contagious.

Thankfully, I did not have to go under the knife.

I did not need an operation. Instead, I did just what the doctor ordered.

I went home, and did exactly what was needed to become healthy again.

Soon I was on the mend, I was pulling through and recovering from my sickness.

Now I am back on my feet. I am physically healthy again, even better.

The doctor has given me a clean bill of health.

She says that I am one hundred percent cured, I am back to normal, and I feel great.

In fact, I feel on top of the world. My friends say I now looked like a picture of health.
