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 a hospital last week. According to the doctor I was infected by dengue
fever.
At first, I felt my body became week then fainted when was studying in the classroom. Then, I
was taken to the hospital because of the high fever. At the hospital, I was brought into the
emergency. Finally, I had to stay there for one week. Everyday 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 okay and because of my illness, I am now more careful about
