F2F Class Notes 8th January (Tony)
I think you’d better go to the hospital.
It’s very difficult to find the reason
sleep in – to sleep later than you usually do, because you don’t need to get up and do something
eg: “I slept in until 11:30 this morning.”
a stuffy nose – hard to breathe because you have some stuff in your nose
eg: “I don’t have a cold, I just have a stuffy nose.”
dentist – like a teeth doctor
eg: “I don’t go to the hospital often, but I go to the Dentist once a year.”
medicine – some things you take, to help you when you are sick.
eg: “You can take some medicine for that stuffy nose, it will make it easier to breathe.”
spray – a liquid that comes out in many very small drops
eg: “The doctor gave me a nasal spray.”
snore – to make noise from your nose or mouth when you are sleeping
eg: “One time my mom was snoring very loudly, and she woke up and hit my dad. He was awake and he said, why did you do that. She said, you were snoring too loud. Then he told her she was the one snoring, and she was really embarrassed.” “Both of my parents snore.”
sensitive – affected by things easily
eg: “I have sensitive skin, I will get sunburned very quickly.”
allergy – a bad reaction to some things
eg: “I have some skin allergies, so I can’t use any skincare products.”
