Hi Jake,

    How's it going? Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while, but couldn't use my computer for a few days. You'll never guess what happened to me!

    A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take up yoga. Yoga is a combination of physical and breathing exercises. It's supposed to be good for relaxation and ____. I've been feeling a bit stressed about my school work recently and I thought yoga might help.

    My dad couldn't give me a lift to the first lesson, so I decided to ____. The lesson was great and I felt really relaxed afterwards. On the way home, though, it started raining and I got very wet! The next day, I woke up with a bad cold. I couldn't stop ____.

    I couldn't go to school ____I also had a high temperature. We were having a math test that day so it was great that I could stay at home. I didn't really ____, though. I felt awful and stayed in bed. Mum brought me cups of hot tea for my sore throat(and you know how much I hate tea! ). She ____went to the chemist's and got me some vitamin pills. I have to keep taking these for a while ____I can get stronger.

    That afternoon Robbie came to visit me. He said he'd got something to ____and pretended it was the math test that I'd missed "Mr Bank says you can do it at home instead,” he said, but I knew he was joking. I didn't think it was very ____, but he did!

    The next day, I was still a bit pale and didn't have much energy, but I was feeling better. The day after that, I was able to go back to school.

    Can you believe my luck? I went to the yoga class to feel ____and instead I caught a cold!

    Anyway, I hope you're OK. Write and let me know what you've been up to!

    Bye for now!

Kate
