The Medicine with Large Writing

On Tuesday afternoon, I received some new medicine from the doctor at the hospital.
I had always taken my previous medicine in the morning.
But I did not know when to take this new medicine.
I asked, “Doctor, when do I take this medicine?”
The doctor wrote “after dinner” in large letters on a piece of paper.
After looking at the paper, I understood clearly when to take the medicine.
