students did reading tasks. Suddenly Sandra Dewi vomited. All other students
stopped writing. Mrs. Lidia helped her immediately. The chairman of the class sent
for the school’s doctor.
In five minutes the doctor came. He examined her carefully. He examined
her eyes. He felt her stomach. He listened to her heart beat. He measured her blood
pressure. Then he took her temperature.
“I’m afraid she suffers from malaria. Her temperature is very high. That is
why she vomited. She has a very bad cough, too. I’ll give her some pills for her
malaria, some tablets for her fever, and syrup for her cough. She needs a week’s
rest”, said the doctor.

25. Dear Grandpa and grandma
Yesterday at my school we had an International day. We had performances, food
stalls, displays,raffleticketdraw, and some of us were dressedin costumes.
We started our day off with performances but the one I liked best was the one from
fourth grade. We played games. The performance I was in was Labamba.Straight after our
performances we had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from Australia, Asia, Arab, and
Greece
Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade. I did my job after I had
lunch.My jobwasto sellInternational Day Books.
We had displays in the hall. These displays were good but I didn’t get to see them. The displays
camefroma lot of countries.
There was also a Trash and Treasure stall where they sold toys. The school got these things by
asking the children to bring themin.
AlthoughI didn’twin anything,InternationalDay was stillfun
Love fromSue
