Which of these problems have you experienced?
In pairs, use the table to talk about health problems, as in the example.
Look at the table and match the problems to their symptoms and causes.
| Symptoms | Problems | Common cases |
| can't sleep | indigestion | not getting enough sleep |
| a bloated, painful stomach | asthma | a virus |
