Medical check-ups

I took the lesson with teacher I today.

We talked about medical check-ups and our health.

She told me that she was going to see a doctor for taking check-up tomorrow, and it was the first time for her to take a blood test, so she felt nervous.
In addition, she told me that she was considering if she was going to see a doctor or canceling it.
I told her that many Japanese take annual medical check-ups, which is valuable to keep our health.

I advised her if she was scared of taking a blood test, "you don't look at your arm and be pricked with a needle, deep breaths, think of your favorite sweets, and sing your favorite song in your heart."

I hope she's going to take the test and be able to get over it.
I believe she can do it.
