I have a cold. I feel very tired. My throat is sore. I have a cough and my head hurts.     11     The fever made my body feel hot. I really don't like being sick, because I can't go to school. And my friends can't visit me, either.     12     There is no cure(治疗) for a common cold. Below are three ways to help stop a cold spreading and to feel better again.

First, wash your hands. Washing your hands is the most important way to stop the spread of colds. Cold germs(细菌) are spread by touch.     13     So if we wash hands carefully using soap and hot water, we won't get the cold easily.

    14     There is a saying that “coughs and sneezes spread illness”. Always use a handkerchief(手帕) or napkin to cover your mouth when coughing and your nose when sneezing. That way, the germs won't get onto your hands and spread to things you touch such as doors, cups or plates.

Finally, clean your house and take care of yourself. We can use a robot cleaner to   clean our house on time. Be sure to use only your own toothbrush and cup…

    15     Eat healthy simple foods such as soup or rice. Get enough rest and sleep. Stay in bed, read a book, do your schoolwork or practice your English!

Remember that a common cold only lasts a few days. You'll feel better soon.
