Lesson idea · فكرة الدرس
Reading about the common cold and influenza; Bud's stomachache conversation; writing advice with bullet points (heat exhaustion).
Key points · أهم النقاط
- Colds and the flu have very similar symptoms and people get them in the same way: sneezing/coughing through the air, or touching objects with viruses.
- Colds last five to seven days and are caused by viruses; there are more than 80 rhinoviruses, so vaccination against colds is impossible. Medicines give only temporary relief.
- The flu adds a high fever and severe muscle aches; it can cause pneumonia. 20 million people died in the 1919 flu epidemic; it affected younger people more.
- Today there are flu vaccines for some viruses, but new viruses appear all the time.
