The Dialogue:<\/strong>\u200d<\/h4>\n

\u200dBob: Hey, what\u2019s up James?
\nJames: I\u2019m not doing so well, man.
\nBob: What\u2019s wrong?
\nJames: I have a bad cold. I also have a headache and a runny nose.
\nBob: Are you taking any medicine?
\nJames: Yeah, I took an aspirin.
\nBob: You should get some rest. I hope you get better soon!
\nJames: I will. Thanks!<\/strong>\u200d<\/p>\n

\u200dVocabulary Expansion:<\/strong>\u200d<\/h4>\n

\u200dWhat\u2019s wrong?<\/strong>
\nThis expression can be used to ask someone if they are feeling sick, sad, crying, angry, etc. It is also okay to use this expression \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d. Here are some phrases:<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t look well. What\u2019s wrong?
\nWhat’s wrong with you? – I have a headache.
\nYou look upset. What\u2019s the matter?<\/p>\n

\u200dHave a cold<\/strong>
\nIf you have a cold, you have a mild, very common illness which makes you sneeze a lot and gives you a sore throat or a cough. It\u2019s important to know the difference between \u201cI am cold\u201d and \u201cI have a cold\u201d. We use \u201cI am cold\u201d to say our temperature is low, it\u2019s the opposite of \u201cI am hot\u201d. And we use \u201cI have a cold\u201d to say we\u2019re sick, we have a virus. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

I am cold, I need a jacket.
\nI feel terrible because I have a cold.
\nDid you know that you can have two colds at the same time?<\/p>\n

Runny nose<\/strong>
\nIf your nose is runny, it is producing more mucus than usual, usually because you are sick. That is, when liquid comes out of your nose because of a cold, allergy, or crying. Check out some examples:<\/p>\n

My daughter has a cough and a runny nose.
\nA common cold is characterized by sneezing, coughing, and a runny nose.
\nI wish I could do something about my runny nose.<\/p>\n
