        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

- I am in Sydney now. It is a fantastic city. I have not started work yet so I am tourist. I want to see everything that Sydney offers. The transport system here is great, cheap, and fast. I have been here for a few days and I have seen the Opera House. It is just amazing and the guided tour was terrific. Manly beach is glorious with lots of clean, golden sand, and has good waves to play in. I have stayed there for hours. Tomorrow I am going to see the Olympic stadium, and the next day I am going to climb up the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
- Love.
