Getting a Cold
Lucy has a cold. Her nose is blocked, she coughs a lot, and she has a sore throat. She felt fine last night, but now she is very 1)_SICK___. Lucy wants to go 2)__HOME and rest, but she thinks she can’t. She is a student and her essay is due today. She needs to proof read it and print it so the teacher gets it on time. Lucy’s 3)__TEACHER is very strict. He told Lucy that the 4)__ESSAY must be handed in on time. There are eighteen students in the class, and they are all very busy writing their essays. Hopefully, they won’t catch Lucy’s 5) __COLD. If the other students catch colds, they might take several days off school and miss out on study.
