Listen, read and answer.

Our body likes to be at a temperature of about 37°C.

That’s the perfect temperature to make us feel good. But sometimes a virus gets into our body. This makes us sick.

Our body wants to kill the virus so it gets hotter. A small fever starts at about 38°C and a fever above 41 °C is dangerous. The high temperature also lets us know that there is something wrong and we can do something to help us get better. When we get better, our body goes back to 37°C again.
