SICK ON SATURDAY (SIMPLE PAST)
I have just had a terrible weekend! On
Saturday I was so tired that I slept all morning. When
I woke up I had a head ache and my throat was sore.
My body ached all over. My nose ran and
I coughed a lot. My mother took my temperature but
I did not have a fever.
My mother made me some soup for
lunch and I ate it in bed. I drank some juice. I tried
to read a book but I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I lay in
bed all afternoon. I drifted in and out of sleep.
I drank more juice. I felt miserable all afternoon.
I didn’t want to do anything.
I got out of bed at dinner time. My
parents ordered pizza for dinner and I was able to eat some
of it. I drank more juice! I felt a bit better after dinner
so I stayed up. I snuggled under a blanket on the couch
and watched some TV with my parents. I fell asleep in front
of the TV.
The next morning I felt better but
now my mother had a cold! She looked miserable. It was her
turn to be sick.
