Lots of vitamin C is good for at least minimizing the duration of a cold
or flu. I once experienced aching legs from the flu and took about
10 grams (yes, 10 grams)of vitamin C. The aches cleared up in about
20 minutes! You have to be careful not to take too much or you can end up
with 拉肚子. :smile:

I wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I like the way you handled the vocabulary section for this lesson. Having the words listed in an enumerated fashion makes it very easy to scan them rather than reading them as part of a paragraph.

A friend called me yesterday and asked me to do some sports with him. He said he will practice sports 2 hours a week against swine flu.
personally i think he should spend one hour a day on sports….

Echo says:

@蓝大卫,

Yeah, I will have some vitamin C whenever I have a cold. It’s really 有用(you3yong4). Another secret is to sleep more. It is very important for me.

Glad to hear that you like the vocab section too :grin:

@蓝大卫 - everyone used to call it 猪流感 (zhūliúgǎn) back in the spring, but now all the newspapers call it 甲型流感 (jiǎxíngliúgǎn). I take is the 甲 there is for the “1″ in H1N1. One of our recording artists got it a couple of weeks ago by the way (Andy). He claims it isn’t that bad for him, but he was apparently hospitalized so who knows.

Best wishes to Andy!!

Thanks, Dave. I’ll add these words to my flash card list and also watch for usage on the
Chinese news broadcast out of San Francisco.
