　　VIII.固定短语串烧记

　　It was very cold last Sunday morning. I had a headache after I took some exercise outside. And I had a bad cough. I felt terrible. I went to bed as soon as I took some pills. But I couldn't fall asleep. I was awake all the time. So I did some reading. I was better in the evening. I asked my mother to wake me up early on Monday morning. The next morning I woke up very early. My mother told me again and again not to go to school. But I didn't agree. I wanted to go to school instead of staying at home. Nothing could stop me from studying. I didn't ask the doctor to look over me on that day until school was over.
