James: Hello, Nicky! Are you feeling better today?

Nicole: Well, the fever is gone, but I’m still feeling weak. You know, I can’t take it easy any longer. I’m worried about my class and the coming biology exam—it’s an important test.

James: Don’t worry. Everything will be OK. Are you still taking the medicine?

Nicole: Yeah. I’m following the doctors orders, but I hate taking pills. You can’t be sure about the side effects.

James: I know what you mean. Some medicines are not safe.

Nicole: You could say that again.
