A: It’s a beautiful day. Let’s go for a walk.
B: I’d like to, but I feel under the weather. I think I’m catching cold.
A: That’s too bad. You’d better watch your step then. A cold is no fun.
B: I guess it serves me right. I went out without a coat last night. Anyway, I’ll stay in the house and rest today.

B: I’ll do that. I don’t want to go from bad to worse. I might catch the flu.
