This morning, I woke up with a sore throat. It was hard to eat breakfast because it hurt when I swallowed. At first, I thought it was just because of dry air. But then I noticed that many of my friends also had sore throats and raspy voices. Maybe a cold is going around. Today, I drank a lot of water and tried to rest as much as I could. I will go to bed early tonight to help my body recover. I really hope I feel better tomorrow. Being sick during summer break is the worst!

REMEMBER vs REMIND – What’s the difference? These two verbs are easy to mix up, but they have different meanings: ✅ REMEMBER – when you keep something in your mind or don’t forget it. You do it yourself. Examples: I remembered to turn off the lights. Do you remember her name? I can’t remember where I put my phone. ✅ REMIND – when someone or something helps you to remember. Use it when someone makes sure you don’t forget. Examples: Please remind me to call her later. That photo reminds me of my childhood. My phone reminded me about the meeting. Quick tip: If you need help not to forget, use remind. If you do it by yourself, use remember.
