Kupang, May 7, 2009 Dear Paula,
Hello, Paula. How are you? It’s been a month since I last heard from you. Well, I just wanted to tell you that I was in hospital last week. According to the doctor, I got a dengue fever.
At first, I felt my body became weak, then I fainted when I was studying in the classroom. Soon, I was taken to the hospital because of the high fever. At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor immediately gave some treatment. Finally, I had to stay there for one week. Every day the doctor kept me on a drip. At the seventh day, my condition was getting better. After the final check, the doctor gave me permission to go home.
Now, I’m feeling much better. Because of my illness, I am now more careful about keeping in my house clean, especially my room. I don't want to get the same illness again.
O.K., I think that’s all from me. Please write to me soon. Bye.
Regards, Nadira

When I was an elementary school student, I had a bad experience which I still regret up to now. At that time I really liked the lesson about social studies. We had the lesson two times a week, on Tuesday and Friday. On Fridays, before the lesson began, we always had a small test or quiz about the previous lessons.
We did the quiz on our test books.
Because I liked the lesson very much, I always studied hard a few days before, even a week before the quiz. The result was I always got very good marks in the quiz. The teacher was proud of me and always praised me before other students.
