        Dear Paula,

Hello Paula, how are you? It’s been a month since I last heard from you.
Well, I just wanted to tell you that I was in a hospital last week. According to
the doctor; I was infected by dengeu fever.

At first, I felt my body became weak then I fainted when I was studying in
the classroom. Then, I was taken to the hospital because of the high fever.

At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor
immediately gave some treatment. Finally, I had to stay there for one week.
Everyday the doctor kept me on a drip.

At the seventh day, my condition was getting better. After the final
check, the doctor gave me permission to go home. Now, I’m okay and because of
my illness, I am now more careful about keeping in my house clean especially my
room, I don’t want to get the same illness again.

Ok, I think that’s all from me, write to me soon ok?

Regards
