My sickness

A few years ago, I remember that was in1998 when I worked in my hometown, I had a heavy cold.
At the beginning of the cold, I had a headache and musleache. Then I started to have high fever. My temperature reached 39 degrees. I felt dizzy and was very cold. I put two sets of quilts on my body but I always felt cold. I ate some medicine, which was similar to panadol, to decrease my body's temperature, but I failed. At the beginning, the temperature was controlled not to increase, but the time in which the temperature was kept normal was very short. Soon, I had high fever again. Like this, I battled with the disease for a week. I lay in bed for a week.I didn't feel like eating anything, I just ate some congee. When I stopped to have fever, I was very weak.
I think my cold was caused by the influenza virus, but at that time there was no particular medicine to fight this virus. But now there is a sort of medicine to fight it. If I have it again, I should take it to treat this disease,I'm sure I won't be tormented for a long time as last time.

Differences and similarities between the three articles

Three articles include similar content, which is about Kylie having breast cancer. But there are some differences. One of them just reports Kylie has breast cancer, uses a photo of Kylie on stage, it has no network advertistment around it. It's true and believable. Another one of them, does not to report similar content but also introduce the story of other two pop stars who battle with cancer. It uses a photo in which Kylie looks melancholic and unhappy. It have some network advertistment around it, they hope the photo can grab people's attention and sell their product. The last article adds a part of content which is about the risk of women to have breast cancer and how women can protect themselves, and give some singer's anecdotes. It hopes this fact which Kylie has cancer can improve women's consciousness to protect themselves. There is a advertistment on the right up corner. It doesn't use photos in the article, and provides some website about protecting breast cancer. This article is highly believable. I think everybody and the media are very concerned about every aspect of famous people's lives, including medical problems. They have to accept this fact no matter whether they are happy or unhappy. This is the price those people who are famous have to pay.

My opinion about topic of forum

In my opinion, women should love themselves including their bodies. They will meet many challengs in their a lives such as getting married and having babies etc. Somtimes these things will threaten women's heath. When women grow old, the denger of getting women's disease, such as breast cancer and cervical cancer etc, increases. I reckon all women shoud do breast self-examination to find some changes about breast in time. They should do pap tests every two years too. They can discrease the risk women have these diseases. It is very important for women's health.
About event media reports about Superstar Kylie Minogue having breast cancer, I reckon they oughtn't do those. That is her personal privacy. Because a person is very unlucky when one has a disease, especially cancer, it's difficult to recover one's health. The media oughtn't disturb her. But Kylie is a superstar, a person who is known by everyone, so the media is interested in everything about her. I think this is a fact she has to face as a public figure .
