Maya

Hi everyone, and welcome to Word Kitchen. I am Maya.

Lena

And I am Lena. Hi, Maya.

Maya

Hi, Lena. Today we talk about health. We learn five new words.

Lena

Great. Health is important for all of us.

Maya

Yes. Our five words are nurse, hospital, medicine, pill, and fever.

Lena

Let's start with nurse. A nurse is a person. The nurse helps sick people.

Maya

Right. When I was a child, I was sick. A kind nurse gave me water. The nurse smiled at me.

Lena

Nurses are so kind. My sister is a nurse. She works every day and helps many sick people.

Maya

That is wonderful. So, remember: a nurse helps sick people.

Lena

Our next word is hospital. A hospital is a big building. Sick people go to the hospital.

Maya

Yes. The nurse works at the hospital. When people are very sick, they go to the hospital.

Lena

I went to the hospital last year. The hospital was big and clean. A nurse welcomed me at the door.

Maya

Many nurses and doctors work at the hospital. They help people feel better at the hospital.

Lena

Our third word is medicine. Medicine helps you when you are sick. You take medicine to feel better.

Maya

Right. When you have a fever, the nurse gives you medicine. Medicine helps your body get well.

Lena

My doctor gave me medicine last week. I took the medicine with water. Now I feel good.

Maya

Good. So medicine is what you take when you are sick.

Lena

Our fourth word is pill. A pill is a small round medicine. You take the pill with water.

Maya

Yes. A pill is one kind of medicine. Some medicine is a pill. You eat the pill with water.

Lena

The nurse gave me a small white pill. She said, take the pill after breakfast. I took the pill with a glass of water.

Maya

That is easy to remember. A pill is small medicine you take with water.

Lena

Our last word is fever. When you have a fever, your body is very hot. A fever means you are sick.

Maya

Yes. If you have a fever, you stay in bed. The nurse can help you when you have a fever.

Lena

Last month I had a fever. My body was hot. I took medicine for the fever and I drank a lot of water.

Maya

And when you have a fever, it is good to go to the hospital. The nurse at the hospital can check your fever.

Lena

True. Let's use all five words in one little story.

Maya

Good idea. A man has a fever. He goes to the hospital. At the hospital, a kind nurse helps him. The nurse gives him medicine. The medicine is one small pill. The man takes the pill with water.

Lena

Nice story. Let's do it again with you, our listeners.

Maya

A woman has a fever. She goes to the hospital with her daughter.

Lena

At the hospital, a nurse smiles at them. The nurse gives the woman medicine.

Maya

The medicine is a small white pill. The woman takes the pill with water.

Lena

Then the nurse says, rest at home. Drink water. Your fever will go away.

Maya

Perfect. Now you know our five words: nurse, hospital, medicine, pill, and fever.

Lena

Say them with us. Nurse. Hospital. Medicine. Pill. Fever.

Maya

Great job. Use these words this week. Thank you for listening to Word Kitchen.

Lena

Bye, everyone. Stay healthy.

πŸ“Grammar: Second Conditional: If + Past, Would

We use the second conditional for dreams and wishes. It is not real now. **If I were a nurse, I would help many sick people.** This is a dream, not real. We use **if** + past simple in the first part. **Were** and **had** are past verbs. We use **would** + verb in the second part. **Would go** is not real now, it is a wish.
