The most common disease in the world is the cold. It often s with a score throat. You sneeze and your nose runs. You usually have a headache, too. Often you have a cough afterwards. It's not a serious disease, but you can feel quite ill.
There isn't cure for a cold, but you can take medicines to make you feel better. For example, you can take aspirin to get rid of your headache. It is good to rise, and to drink a lot of water too. A doctor once told me 'With the r medicine, a cold will last for seven days. With no medicine, it will go on for a whole week!'
Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people understood that some plants made them feel better. They ate the l the roots, the fruit, or the seeds of plants. For example, the j of lemons makes a sore throat feel better.
In modern times, scientists have looked at these plants, and found out which chemicals are in them. Many of our medicines today are made f those chemicals.
There are some disease which we can't cure y . And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because of modern medicines, the average person now lives longer than their grandparents.
Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chairs"? It is easy to play and most people enjoys it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape-recorder, you can use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the player walk around the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course. They should walk in time to the music. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair! The one who sits on the chairs when the music stops is the winner.
