You have to ask people what's wrong, then you decide how to make them feel better. Really! What's wrong with this man then? The man with a shark on his hand. He injured his hand when he was feeding his shark. The shark's his pet. I've made an appointment for the man to meet the doctor and have the shark removed. But now, I need to find some water to put the shark in! I see. What's wrong with this patient? The man who's having his heart checked. Well, he has a problem with his girlfriend. That's why he's so sad. Look! He's got a broken heart. How are you going to make him feel better? I don't know. Maybe I can give him some flowers and some chocolates. . . Good idea! That woman's going to the emergency door quickly, isn't she? Do you know why there's a fire? I think there was an accident and her pet monster made the fire. Did the monster break the woman's ankle, too? Yes. She had another accident when she was playing with the baby monster. It's very strong, even though it's a baby. And what about this patient? The one with the big hands. He was making dinner. But while making a sandwich, his knife slipped and he cut his hand. It looks very painful. It must hurt a lot.

Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 48 The £20, 000 adventure Joshua's ill and bored. He has flu, and he has had a fever for several days. But today he's feeling a bit better. His mum says he can go downstairs, lie down on the sofa and watch television with his sister, Chloe. Joshua and Chloe are watching a programme about crocodiles. There's a knock on the door. It's their cousin, Eddie. He has come to see if Joshua's feeling better. ‘How long have you been ill?' he asks. ‘For four days, ' says Joshua. ‘I haven't been to school since last Monday! ' ‘Lucky you! ' says Eddie. The crocodile programme has finished. The local news programme is starting. ‘There was a robbery at Whitton's bank last night. Unfotunately, thieves stole about£20, 000 in cash and escaped in a fast car, ' the newsreader says. ‘The thieves are dangerous criminals. ' ‘I know that bank, ’ Chloe says excitedly. ‘It's on the High Street. ' Joshua's feeling sleepy. His eyes are closing! ‘Come on, Joshua, ' says Eddie. ‘Let's climb some trees. ' Outside in the garden Chloe's climbing a tree and the two boys quickly climb up to join her. ‘Look at those men! ’ says Chloe, pointing at two men kneeling on the ground by the river. ‘What are they doing?’‘Shhhhhh! ’ whispers Joshua. ‘They'll hear you and they look dangerous! ’‘But look! ' says Eddie, feeling worried. ‘What are they doing?' One of the men is taking a huge pile of papers from a brown bag. ‘It's the £20, 000! ’whispers Chloe. ‘You know - the money from the bank on the High Street. Look! They're hiding it in the hole. '‘Yes, and the newsreader said they're dangerous criminals, ' whispers Joshua. The two men look up as if they've heard something. The children freeze - they are terrified. The three children watch in complete silence while the men finish hiding the cash and walk away through the wood. ‘Let's get it! ’ says Chloe, climbing down the tree fast. ‘Come on, Joshua, ' shouts Eddie. ‘What are you waiting for? They might come back. ' But Joshua isn't feeling well. He thinks he might have a fever again. As he's climbing down the tree he cuts his knee and cries out in pain. Chloe and Eddie get the bag. They make so much noise that Joshua starts to feel nervous. They don't see the men coming back! Suddenly, the men are standing right behind them and they look furious. ‘Hey! Drop that! ’they shout. ‘Run! ’ shouts Eddie. Eddie and Chloe grab the money and run to the bridge as fast as they can. They cross over the river. But Joshua can't run to the bridge. His knee's bleeding. It's too painful to run. ‘Hurry up, Joshua, they're going to catch you, ' shouts Eddie from the other side of the river. Joshua decides to swim to the other side. He's just going to jump into the water to cross the river, when he sees crocodiles. He's very frightened now. ‘Oh no, crocodiles - how strange! ’thinks Joshua for a moment. ‘Crocodiles live in Africa, not here! ’ Joshua's trapped with the thieves behind him and crocodiles in front of him! Oh no! He can't run to the bridge. He can't swim across the river. What can he do? Then he sees a rope hanging from a tree. Can he swing across? ‘Joshua, wake up! You're shouting in your sleep . . . something about crocodiles. Are you feeling OK?’asks his mother, coming into the room. ‘Oh, Mum. Yes, I'm feeling much better now! ’ says Joshua. ‘Come on. Switch off the television. It's time to eat, ' says his mum.
Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 50 2 Listen and read the text. Check your answers to Activity 1. What was life like in the 1700s? Many poor people didn't eat very well and so when they were ill, they could die. Lots of families had one toilet in the garden and it wasn't very clean. They also didn't have soap (and sometimes no water) to wash their hands. Doctors didn't know very much about what different illnesses were and they didn't have medicines to give people. Children also didn't have vaccinations to prevent them from getting ill and so they got illnesses like measles, chicken pox and flu. How is life different now? Doctors have learned a lot about preventing illnesses since the 1940s. We are told to eat a balanced diet and we also know that it's important to wash our hands before we eat or if you cut yourself. Before the 1940s if you cut your finger, bacteria could get into the cut and so lots of people died from a disease called tetanus. Now, we have vaccinations at the doctor. This is an injection to stop us getting the disease. Vaccinations contain a small amount of a virus or bacteria that help the body to fight the disease. Sir Alexander Fleming (1881- 1955): In1928, Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin and this helped to develop a group of medicines called antibiotics. During World War I he saw lots of soldiers die from infected cuts. I'm going to the lab. He started growing germs in dishes to study them. In 1928 he noticed mould was growing in his dishes and killing the germs. This was penicillin and it has saved the lives of millions of people.
