Перево�д
1 Peter had been feeling bad for three days. He thought that he had
caught a cold while fishing in the lake at Sasha’s. It rained hard that
day, and it was very cold. Of course they drank a lot of vodka after-
wards, since Sasha thought that vodka was the best medicine! But
in the morning, Peter felt awful. He had a dreadful headache, and
his throat hurt. His temperature was also high – almost 38°C – and
he could hardly talk. Fortunately, Sasha came and called the doctor.
When the doctor arrived, he examined Peter and said that he had flu.
2 The Russian health system is in a most difficult situation. Some hos-
pitals lack even the simplest equipment and medicines.
