Reading Comprehension: The Bad Flu

Read the following passage and then complete both tasks below:

This is the Clark family. The children haven’t been feeling well for a few days and Mrs Clark had to take time off work to look after them. First it was Thomas, who came home from school two days ago with a bad headache and a fever. The next morning, his sister Sam woke up with a fever, sore throat, vomited a few times and told her mother she had earache. By midday, both children were very ill. They were coughing, sneezing and had a runny nose. Mrs Clark was really worried and made an appointment to talk to their GP on the phone. The GP asked her to do a Coronavirus test and give her children Paracetamol and plenty of fluids. Wasting no time, she helped them take a home test and she was happy that both tested negative for the virus. They just had a bad flu. She spent that day  making hot drinks and soup. She made sure they were comfortable and gave them the medicine the GP asked her to give them. This morning, both Mr & Mrs Clark couldn’t get out of bed. They had stomach ache, a headache and a high temperature. They are all together in the living room rapped up in blankets, drinking a hot mug of hot chocolate and watching their favourite TV show.
