First Caller: Hello. My problem is sunburn. I fell asleep in the sun. Now I have a bad sunburn. Really bad. My skin is red and hot. I can't eat. I can't sleep. I feel terrible. What should I do? Doctor: For a bad sunburn, drink a lot of water. Stay in a cool, quiet room. Rest. And of course, don't go outside in the sun. Eat cool foods like ice cream and drink cold juice. Now on to our next caller.
Second Caller: My problem is I can't sleep at night. Every night I can't fall asleep. So... I'm always tired.
Doctor: If you can't sleep, don't take sleep medicine. It doesn't really help you. Instead, try to get some exercise every day. Swim, play tennis, dance ...perhaps take a walk. Secondly, don't drink a lot of alcohol or coffee. Especially coffee. It's loaded with caffeine that will keep you up. Third, try reading something very boring. A boring book can help you go right to sleep! Now to our next caller..." How are you feeling?

Simon: Many people like to eat pizza, but do you know how to make it? Today on "You Can Cook!" you can learn how to make delicious pizza. It's easy. It's fun. You can do it. To get started, check the list of ingredients: You need water, sugar, yeast, olive oil, flour and salt. Now, first, you need to make the dough. To make it, you just mix everything together. Then, you have to cover the dough and wait one and a half hours. Now, the second step is the fun part. You make the dough into a big round circle. You push it and pull it and stretch it into a circle. The next step is the sauce. You spread some pizza sauce, some tomato sauce, onto the dough. Not a lot of sauce. Too much sauce and the dough gets too wet. Then you add cheese. Mozzarella cheese is good. Two cups of cheese is about right. Sprinkle it on top. Now you are ready to add the toppings. You can use slices of sausage, diced onion, pieces of green pepper, chopped mushrooms, shrimp, strips of chicken... whatever you like. Next, you bake it for about 20 minutes. Finally, the pizza is ready! If this doesn't work, don't worry. You can go out and get a slice of pizza with your friends!
