Conversation 1 

Jenny: You don’t look well. What’s wrong, David?

David: I have a stomachache. I ate too much at my friend’s birthday party yesterday.

Jenny: Oh no! Why did you eat so much?

David: I couldn’t help myself! The food was too delicious. My friend’s mother cooked everything herself.

Conversation 2 

Sarah: Are you OK, Ben? Did you hurt yourself?

Ben: Yes, I fell during the football game yesterday. It seemed OK at first, but now I have a backache.

Sarah: Oh dear. Accidents often happen in sport. Be more careful next time!

Conversation 3 

Harry: Would you like some snacks? Help yourself!

Nancy: No, I can’t eat anything. I have a terrible toothache.

Harry: I’m sorry to hear that. Did you bite something hard?

Nancy: No, I think I ate too many sweet things. Oh, my tooth really hurts!

Conversation 4 

Frank: What’s the matter, Judy?

Judy: I’m sorry, but it’s difficult for me to talk.

Frank: What happened?

Judy: I practised my speech by myself for hours yesterday. I guess I didn’t drink enough water. I’m suffering from a sore throat now.
