BÀI LUẬN TIẾNG ANH HAY
Confined to the house
It all began with a blister on my lower eyelid I happened to rub it accidentally and it was
painful
Soon after blisters appeared on my hands and neck I suspected that I must be coming down with something My mother examined me and immediately pronounced "chicken-pox" I had come down with chicken-pox
She took me to the doctor's to make sure The doctor said that what I needed was rest He gave
me a two- week medical certificate and some pills to keep down the fever
Two weeks! I had to stay in the house for two weeks
Very quickly more blisters appeared all over my body I even had some in the throat, which made swallowing difficult To make matters worse, I began to getbouts of fever At times when the fever was raging, I seemed to drift into a kind of limbo Things became hazy and I was not sure whether I was dreaming or awake
I had a look in the mirror and saw that my face was grotesque Red blisters covered the whole face I wondered if I would be scarred permanently
So I stayed in the house and did nothing It was not too unpleasant except for the fever and the extra care I had to take not to break the blisters accidentally Nobody came to visit me I was forbidden to visit others It was customary to remain out of sight when one had chicken- pox I had no choice but to comply
The days passed Slowly the blisters dried into dark scabs which flaked off after a while, leaving behind little red scars The flakes fell on the floor, on the bed and among my clothes
For two weeks I remained confined to the house At the end of the period, my appearance had improved enough for me to go back to school The little scars remained there for a few more months but I was glad my enforced stay in the house was over
