Yesterday Sandra Dewi fell sick in the middle of the English

lesson. All the 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 schools
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.
Im afraid she suffers from malaria. Her temperature is very
high. That is why she vomited. She has a very bad cough, too. Ill
give her some pills for her malaria, some tablets for her fever,
and syrup for her cough. She needs a weeks rest, said the
doctor.

Yesterday at my school we had an International

day. We had performances, food stalls, displays,
raffle ticket draw, and some of us were dressed in
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 job
was to sell International Day Books.
We had displays in the hall. These displays were
good but I didnt get to see them. The displays came
from a 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 them in.
Although I didnt win anything, International Day
was still fun
