| Mandeep: | I had the worst holiday ever. I came down with the flu or something and couldn’t do anything during the holiday. I was sick for almost two weeks. |
| Mao: | Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. Some of my friends and my parents were also sick during the holiday. There must have been something going around this year. How are you feeling today? |
| Mandeep: | I’m better. I’m still feeling a little bit rough though. I just don’t want to stay at home. |
| Mao: | I think you should recharge your batteries completely. You don’t want whatever you had to flare up again, do you? |
| Mandeep: | Yeah, you’re right. I guess I should take it easy. |
