a lot of work to do today.

I’m going to the library too, but first I’m meeting my tutor. She is giving me some books to read.
That sounds good. What are you working on?
I am preparing a presentation at the moment. I’m doing the presentation with my group. There
are three of us working together. The presentation is all about the environment. It’s interesting!
I am reading about recycling. Nadia and Mo are finding out about pollution.
Oh, great! I saw Mo this morning. Is he okay?
Yes, I think he is okay. Why?
He looked unwell. I saw him in the library. He was coughing and he was sneezing. I think he is
sick.
Oh no! Poor Mo. I hope he is okay.
He didn’t look okay. I think he is feeling quite bad. I think he has a cold.
Poor Mo. Why is he working? If he is sick, he should sleep.
Yes, I agree.
