Dialogue. Linda: You look rather pale, Marina

Linda: You look rather pale, Marina. Are you ill?

Marina: I hope not. But as a matter of fact, I have a headache and I am a little shaky in my legs.

Linda: Did you take your temperature?

Marina: I did and I found that I had a slight fever.

Linda: Let me have a look at your tongue and feel your pulse. First show me your tongue. It is coated (white, furred), and your pulse is rapid and irregular. Besides, you have a sore throat.

Marina: Oh, yes, I see - that's why I'm feeling unwell.

Linda: I fear you have caught a bad flu (influenza). You'd better see a doctor.
