I have tried many ways to be ill．I don’t wear a sweater when I should, and two days ago I walked in the rain without my shoes．But so far nothing has happened．Debbie once told me about a boy in her class who liked being away from school．He would rub(擦)the end of the thermometer(温度计)until it went up to 39℃．Then he’d put it in his mouth and his mother would think he was really ill．
This morning I tried doing that but it never went above 35℃ and I rubbed it for ten minutes．So I held the thermometer next to the light on my desk and it went up to 40℃．I thought I’d put it in my mouth and walk downstairs like that．Then my mother would take it out and she would be worried when she saw that I was rather ill．
The only trouble was I didn’t know the thermometer would be so hot．As soon as I put it into my mouth I burnt my tongue!I spit the thermometer out．It fell on the floor but it didn’t break．
I will have to think up a better way to get my mother and father back together．
