雅思口语P2 Describe a time when you had medicine（文字版）

Once upon a time, I had the experience of having medicine for colds. Actually, that was the best time of the year, the golden time of the year, spring time. It also can be seen as the worst season as well. As you probably know, the temperature usually fluctuates a lot during that special period, I had a cold as I didn't like to wear the heavy coat when spending time outside. I got the medicine for colds from a friend of mine, he used to grab some in the local pharmacy. Not quite expensive, 10 yuan or something. Personally, I am not the kind of person that likes to take medicines more often. But I have been suffering from this for a couple weeks and situation lasted for too long. So, this is why I prefer to take medicines I might say. The point is that you need to have water with your medication, if allowed. Besides, drink a little more water than usual if you are around sick people in the hospital or at work or school. This old-time recipe really works well for me. That is it.
