Unit 08 A day in bed

I had never felt so bored in my life. Yesterday morning I found myself unable to get out of bed at the usual time. Not only did I feel dizzy but I shivered with cold. Besides, I coughed a lot. I felt so uncomfortable that I did not go to school. At about nine o’clock, my mom took me to see a doctor. After taking my temperature, the doctor said I was running a fever. He then prescribed some medicine for me and told me to go home and get plenty of rest. Back home, I spent most of the day in bed. I did not even get up to have any lunch. Lying in bed with nothing to do, I was bored to tears. My mom suggested that I watch TV or play some video games, but neither could arouse my interest. I liked to have my friends around. After a day’s rest, I felt much better. But I couldn’t wait to go back to school the next morning.
