Illness, hospitals and children who are very ill, sentence 2
Cancer cannot be caught like a cold; a classmate with leukaemia is not catching, but his treatment makes it hard for his body to fight germs, and it can make hair fall out for a while, which usually grows back.
Who acts: classmate, treatment, body, hair · What happens: not catch, make, fight, fall out, grow back, treat · To what, where: Cancer, leukaemia, germs, hair
