Two friends having coffee at Starbuck’s, Manuel and Maria

Manuel: Hi Maria, how are you feeling today?

Maria: I’m feeling terrible, I think I’ve got a bad cold.

Manuel: Wow, I had the flu last week and it came with high fever and a strong headache. If you
don’t take care of yourself, you will feel awful, your back and shoulders will hurt and also develop
a kind of pressure on your chest.

Maria: Yes, you are right, if I don’t look after myself, nobody else will. I went to the doctor and
prescribed me some pills, I feel better now than two days ago, I felt nervous for a moment because
my body itself will try to reject the chemicals from the medication, it usually starts with a stomach
ache and my neck may hurt too.

Manuel: Yes, even your knees and elbows could hurt if you don’t get treated, I see you feel well.

Maria: Thank God I do and the doctor himself said I should continue with this treatment for
another three days.

Manuel: Well, it’s been nice seeing you again and follow the doctor’s advice.

Maria: You too, so long.
