Reading Ring 8. Unit 3. In the kitchen. Page 28. Aunt Polly's amazing soup.

Oh hi, Vivian. How are you?

Hi Aunt Polly. I feel awful and sick.

Oh, my dear baby. What's the matter with you?

I have the flu. My doctor advised me to rest in bed. I can't go to school. I am very sad because I have a science exam today.

Oh, don't worry. I know how to cure the flu in just a minute.

Really? How?

I have a secret soup recipe for that. First, I chop the onions, and then I peel and slice some bananas.

I mix them and I boil them for 10 minutes. Finally, I add lots of salt and pepper. It's juicy and spicy.

What? Onions and bananas? Sounds terrible. I cannot eat that.

But it's good for your health. Wait for me. I'll go prepare it for you.

No, no, Aunt Polly. Please don't. Look at me. I feel great now. I think I'm cured.

Really?

Really? Look. I'm great.

See? I told you. I can cure the flu in just a minute. Go and wear your uniform. You're going to school, little liar.

You are awful, Aunt Polly.
