WRITING TASK

A VISIT TO THE DOCTOR’S

My name’s Lola and I’m going to tell you what happened to me last week.

I´m crazy about chocolate so I try to eat as much chocolate as I can. I like all kinds of chocolate but
white chocolate is my favourite! Sometimes I even go to the supermarket and I spend my pocket
money on it. When I get home, I usually hide it under my pillow or inside my socks. To make things
worse I wear braces. Of course, my parents don’t know anything about it!

Last Tuesday when I woke up I felt really sick. I had a terrible stomachache. My head hurt too. Then
I told my mum and she said: “ok, if you stay in bed , you’ll feel better”

The result was that I didn’t go to school and I spent the morning in bed. I felt a little better before
lunch so I started a new chocolate bar I had inside my tennis socks .Mum was at work and my dad
was visiting my grandparents in Jaén. I was happy to be at home alone. I didn’t notice but I ate five
chocolate bars in about ten minutes.

When my mum arrived from work, I was feeling really sick and sorry at the same time. Mum, very
worried, took me to Dr Sarmiento’s, our family doctor. He asked me several questions:

Dr Sarmiento: What’s the matter with you, Lola?

Me: I have a terrible stomachache.

Dr Sarmiento: When did it start?

Me: It started early this morning, when I woke up.

Dr Sarmiento: well Lola…let’s have a look. Lay down

Does it hurt when I press here?

Me: ow… ouch…quite a lot!

Dr Sarmiento: What did you have for breakfast?

Me: Nothing at all

Dr Sarmiento: and for dinner?

Me: ..well…pizza, chips and three chocolate bars

Dr Sarmiento: That’s not healthy Lola! And you know that!

If you eat unhealthy food every day, you’ll have health problems in the future. This is not the first
time I tell you.

When I saw my mum’s monster face I felt really embarrassed and sorry so I confessed and I told them
about the five chocolate bars before lunchtime.

The doctor prescribed me some pills and healthy food. My mum prescribed me a different thing: no
more chocolate, pizza or chips in at least three months!!
