Hospital

The chemist asked me about my symptoms. I had a high temperature1, as well as a cough and a sore throat , plus my neck was very painful

I went to see my doctor for a check-up because I felt extremely tired and lacked energy. At times I felt confused, and my husband thought I looked very pale too.

I ate some fish which didn't taste good, and it gave me an upset stomach.

injured a muscle by doing too much exercise?

Injuries and emergencies

I don't understand why people buy such poor quality items of clothing, wear them a few times and then throw them away. It's terrible for the environment.
I hate the fashion trade. I read somewhere that companies can sell a dress for $5, but they don't make any profit. They're just aiming to attract more consumers to their websites so that they'll spend more money.
My brother's a fashion designer, but I think designer labels are a waste of money. I just shop in high street stores and I only buy casual clothes.

Attitudes to Fashion

Fashion experts say that every stylish woman should have a 'capsule wardrobe' - a set of a few essential items for every occasion. The main elements are: a little black dress, the perfect jeans, a leather handbag, a fine wool jumper, white shirt, black skirt, etc. Being stylish is about what suits you and your body shape. Here are three golden rules:
• Spend as much as possible on the essential items (your capsule wardrobe) and don't worry too much about
fashionable clothes. Buy good quality brands whenever you can.
• Choose safe colours: black, cream, white and dark blue. These look smart, and are easy to match.
• A simple outfit can be improved with the latest bags and accessories.
