How Are You Feeling Today? - Kim Griffiths English

Hello! Have you had a good week? This past week I have been under the weather (feeling ill) and so I decided a little vocabulary and language about that could be useful for people.

1. How to ask people how they are feeling? And answering that question.
2. 10 minor symptoms.
3. Giving advice and suggestions to a sick friend.
4. The key (answers) to last week’s crossword Back to school basics.
5. Recommended watching and listening.

Asking people how they are.

1 You only ask to be polite, & 2 You do want to know how they are.

• How are you?
• How are you feeling today?
• How do you feel?

3  You can see there is something wrong.

• Are you alright? / Are you ok?
• What’s the matter?

Answering the question

How are you?

1    You want to give a standard answer and not tell the person how you really feel.

•  I’m well. Thankyou.
•  Fine, Thanks.

2    A positive heathy answer.

• I’m fine/well.
• I’m good, thanks.
• Great!

3   A negative unhealthy answer.

• Not so good.
• I’m a bit under the weather (tired and feeling ill).
• I feel ill.
• I don’t feel well.
