— Mum, I don’t feel well.
— What’s the matter, sweetheart?
— I have a headache.
— I’ll give you a painkiller.
— And it hurts when I swallow.
— Ann, let’s take your temperature, shall we? You have a sore throat/your throat is sore and a slight temperature. I’m afraid you are coming down with a cold. Lie down, please.
— But I’m practising volleyball tomorrow!
— You’ll have to stay a couple of days at home. I’ll call for the doctor. And now you should drink lots of warm water and get plenty of rest.
