What Hurts?
A. Read the letter and underline all the body vocabulary you see. Then write
the words in the spaces below.
Dear Ana,
I went to the doctor today. He looked into my eyes and said they
looked good. You know I have been having headaches and trouble seeing. He
said he thought it was stress. When I told him about my chest pains, he was a
little worried. He said when that happens I should take some aspirin and put
my feet up. He said he would do some tests. Sometimes, my head hurts so
bad that my stomach starts to give me trouble too. I’m not very worried.
How are your back and neck? I hope you are doing better. I know
how bad it is to have back problems. Have you talked to a doctor?
Love,
Patricia
