The body and health 体と健康
どこが痛いか、どんな気分か言います。二つのパターンでほぼ足りる：「My + 体の部分 + hurts」（My head hurts。My throat hurts。）と「I have a + 病気」（I have a headache。I have a cold。I have a cough。）。これらの病名は前に「a」が要る。韓国語には冠詞がないので韓国語話者は「I have headache」と言う；英語では「a」を足さなければならない：I have a headache。
Dialogue
I have headache? — I have headache？
- Emma You look pale, Minsu. What's wrong? 顔色が悪いよ、ミンス。どうしたの？
- Minsu I have headache. And I have cough. 私は headache です。そして cough も。（間違い: これらの病気の前に「a」を付ける:「a headache」「a cough」；韓国語に冠詞はないが英語はここで「a」が要る）
- Emma Add "a": "I have a headache. I have a cough." 「a」を足す：「I have a headache. I have a cough.」
- Minsu Right. I have a headache and a cough. Maybe I have a cold. そうだ。頭痛と咳がある。たぶん風邪だ。
Dialogue
How do you feel? — 気分はどう？
- Emma How do you feel today, Minsu? 今日は気分どう、ミンス？
- Minsu My throat hurts and my head hurts too. のどが痛くて、頭も痛い。
- Emma You have a cold. You should see a doctor. 風邪だね。医者に行ったほうがいい。
- Minsu Yes, I have a fever, so I'll go now. うん、熱もあるから今行くよ。

Grammar
I have a headache I have a headache
There are two easy ways to say you are unwell. One: "My + body part + hurts" for a single part — My head hurts. My throat hurts. My stomach hurts. (For two or more parts, use "hurt": My feet hurt.) Two: "I have a + illness" for a named problem — I have a headache. I have a cold. I have a cough. I have a fever. These illness words take "a": say "a headache", not just "headache". To ask after someone, say "What's wrong?" or "How do you feel?". If it is serious, "You should see a doctor".
体調が悪いと言う簡単な方法が二つ。一つ：「My + 体の部分 + hurts」は一か所に — My head hurts。My throat hurts。My stomach hurts。（二か所以上なら「hurt」：My feet hurt。）二つ：「I have a + 病気」は名前のある問題に — I have a headache。I have a cold。I have a cough。I have a fever。これらの病名は「a」を取る：「a headache」であって「headache」だけではない。相手を気遣うなら「What's wrong?」や「How do you feel?」。ひどければ「You should see a doctor」。
- My head hurts and I have a fever. 頭が痛くて熱がある。
- I have a cough and a sore throat. 咳が出て、のどが痛い。
- What's wrong? — My stomach hurts. どうしたの？ — おなかが痛い。
- You should see a doctor. 医者に行ったほうがいい。
