In this lesson we will discuss how you can ask about the health of an ill friend.

Hello Ms. Tracy. Jack here.

Hey Jack. How are you doing?

I am good Ms. Tracy. I just wanted to know if Tom’s feeling better now.

Oh! Tom’s still not well. We took him to a doctor this morning.

What did the doctor say?

Well, he asked for some tests. We’ll get the results tomorrow.

I hope its nothing serious.

I am sure it’s not. The doctor told us not to worry. Thanks for your concern Jack.

No problems. I’ll call up tomorrow and find out how Tom is doing.

Good morning Ms. Pauline.

Good morning Jack. How are you today?

I am good Ms. Pauline. Tom asked me to tell you that he won’t be coming to school for some days.

Why? What happened?

Actually, Tom’s not well. I think he’s got a viral fever.

Okay. No problem. Just ask him to bring a note from his mom when he joins back.

Sure. I’ll do that.

Thank you Ms. Pauline.

Tell him that I want him to get well soon.

Hey Sam. How are you man?

I’m good. Where’s Tom? I haven’t seen him for a few days.

Yeah I know. Tom hasn’t been feeling very well lately.

Oh! What happened? Nothing serious I hope.

Actually, that’s the thing. It is pretty serious. There’s an infection in his kidney and he’ll need surgery.

Oh ! That’s sad. Let’s visit him this afternoon.

Sure. It will make him feel better I guess.

Hey Tom. How are you feeling now?

I feel ok now Jack. Much better.

How did the surgery go?

Well, I am alive! It was scary but the doctor said I’m going to recover fast.

Do you know when you can start going to school again?

Maybe after a couple of weeks. My doc advised me to avoid public places for a while.

That’s great. Hope to see you soon. We all miss you man.

How are you feeling now?

Tell him that I want him to get well soon.

Tom’s not well. I think he’s got a viral fever.
