Write your body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should have 1) a topic sentence, 2) an analysis of some part of the text and 3) evidence from the text that supports your analysis and your thesis statement. A topic sentence tells the reader what the body paragraph will be about.
Many types of viruses can cause a common cold. Children younger than six are at greatest risk of colds, but healthy adults can also expect to have two or three colds annually. Most people recover from a common cold in a week or 10 days. Symptoms might last longer in people who smoke. If symptoms don't improve, see your doctor.
A cold should last about seven days, Bergquist said. There's no proof of feeding a cold or starving a fever -- what you eat probably won't shorten that time of being sick. In the preschool age group, you can expect kids to get almost a cold every month during fall and winter months, Greenspan said. One cold can seem to stick around for a long time, but is really the result of catching multiple bugs, he said.
