Experiencing Motion Sickness 


Ashley: You don’t look so good. What’s wrong? 


Terrell: I felt motion sickness watching that movie. The camera jerked around and it made me dizzy. 


Ashley: It didn’t bother me. The hand-held camera used to film the movie had that effect on you? 


Terrell: I’m susceptible 1 to motion sickness. You should see me on a boat. The rocking motion makes me seasick 2 and nauseous. When I was a kid, I used to get carsick every time my family took a road trip. My parents always had a barf bag ready. 


Ashley: Wow, that sucks. 


Terrell: Yeah, and don’t even try to get me on an airplane. Just the starting of the engines makes me feel airsick and looking down gives me vertigo 3


Ashley: So how do you travel? 


Terrell: Very rarely and usually with one foot on the ground!
