Hi everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Time for English.

Are you familiar with the word "symptom"?

A symptom is a sign that you have an illness. For example, if you sneeze a lot, if your nose is runny, or if your eyes are itchy, it's likely that you have hay fever. These are common symptoms of hay fever.

Likewise, a cough is a symptom of a cold, the sign that tells you that you may have a cold.

Most cold symptoms go away after a few days. A lingering cough may mean something else. It could be the symptom of pneumonia.

If you have a high fever and body aches, in addition to coughing and sneezing, you should suspect that you've got the flu because a high fever and severe pain throughout your whole body are the symptoms of influenza.

If your tooth aches, you know you have a cavity. A toothache is one of the most common cavity symptoms.

Now. Would you like to try a quiz? You'll be given three options. Please listen carefully and choose the one that is NOT true. Ready?
