Drink a lot of water or juice. They are better than soft drinks.
Are you coughing or sneezing? Cover your mouth and nose! Use a tissue, not your hand!

Dear Jessica,
How are you? How was your trip back to London? I'm at home today. I have the flu. It's awful! I'm coughing a lot, and I have a runny nose. I'm using a lot of tissues! I also have a bad headache. I can't eat very much because I have a stomach ache, but my doctor says I should eat. I also have a fever. Sometimes I'm very warm. Then, I get cold and have chills. It's very strange.
I want to go to school again soon. My friends can't visit me here because they can get ill easily. I hope you are fine! Write to me soon.
Your friend,
Sima
