Tips to try and reduce hay fever symptoms:

3:  Splash your eyes often with cold water as this tries to flush out any pollen.

4:  Try and reduce contact with known allergens. For example –pet fur, flowers, dust etc.

THE ASS, THE FOX, AND THE LION

An Ass and a Fox went into partnership and went out to search for food together. They hadn’t gone far before they saw a Lion coming their way, at which they were both extremely frightened.

But the Fox thought he saw a way of saving his own skin, and went boldly up to the Lion and whispered in his ear, “I’ll manage that you shall get hold of the Ass without any trouble, if you’ll promise to let me go free.” The Lion agreed to this, and the Fox then rejoined his companion.  Before long it managed to lead him by a hidden pit, which some hunter had dug as a trap for wild animals, and into which he fell. When the Lion saw that the Ass was safely caught and couldn’t get away, it was to the Fox that he first turned his attention, and he soon finished him off, and then at his leisure proceeded to feast upon the Ass.

Influenza or ‘the flu’ is a serious, painful illness which affects the whole body. Symptoms include fever, headaches, muscle aches and pains. In children, symptoms may also include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The infections occur between July-September usually lasting for about five days. Fever and other symptoms usually disappear after that time but a cough and weakness may continue. All symptoms usually gone within a week or two.According to the influenza specialist group (ISG), vaccination reduces the average person’s chances of catching the flue by up to 80% during the flu season. Vaccination isn’t a guarantee against getting sick but it generally reduces the symptoms.  Vaccination is only good for the current year. Influenza is highly contagious—the influenza viruses can survive for an hour or more in the air in enclosed environments, such as child care centres and schools; for more than eight hours on hard surfaces such as stainless steel and plastics; and up to five minutes on hands after transfer from other surfaces.

It happened one weekend while I was at the fairground. I was with my friend Sarah and we were both really excited. The flashing lights and bright colours made everything appear magical. We were having a great time and we had been on most of the rides when Sarah pointed to the big wheel. The sign said “$1 for a two-minute ride”. At first I wasn’t sure, but Sarah had been on it before. “It only takes two minutes,” she said. “Come on- it’s a really thrilling ride!” A minute later we were in the air. It was like flying! “This is amazing!” I shouted happily to Sarah. Then suddenly, there was a loud crash and everything stopped. I was really frightened! Sarah held my hand tightly because she was worried, too. We looked down and saw two mechanics. “Don’t worry,” they shouted. “It won’t take us long to fix it!” So we waited…and waited! At first we were amused. Everyone was running around below us. After a while though, it became scary up there. Two hours later, the wheel finally started to move again. I was so happy. It had been a long tiring evening. That two-minute ride had turned into a two-hour nightmare! (Reading and Writing Targets 2: Student Book, 1999, p. 48)
