DIALOGUE
Ex. 1. Read and translate the dialogue.
Doctor: Good evening. What’ the trouble?
Patient: I haven’t been feeling well for some time. I have lost my
appetite and I don’t sleep very well. I have rather a bad
cough that I can’t get rid of, and a pain in my chest
sometimes when I breathe.
Doctor: I see. Very well. You had better have a thorough examination.
Let me see your tongue... Yes, your stomach is a little out
of order... Now your pulse ... Yes, that’s all right. Now just
unfasten your coat and shirt and I’ll listen to your heart
and chest.... Do you smoke a lot?
Patient: Well, rather a lot, I’m afraid.
Doctor: H’m! You ought to cut that down for a time. Let me see
your throut. Open your mouth. Say «Ah!»
Patient: Ah! Ah!
Doctor: All right, that’ll do. Have you been losing weight?
Patient: No, I don’t lose or gain, at least never more than half a
kilo or so one way or the other.
Doctor: Well, There’s nothing serous the matter with you, but you
are rather run down. You’ve been working too hard. You
need a real rest. I’ll give a bottle of medicine that will help.
Take a table-spoonful in water three times a day after meals.
Eat plenty of good plain food, have no cigarettes and drink
plenty of milk, and not too much coffee; get plenty of
fresh air and plenty of sleep, but, above all, don’t try to do
too much. A real change of air and surroundings would be
very helpful.
Patient: As a matter of fact, a friend of mine has invited me to come
and stay with his family in their cottage near the town.
Doctor: That’s just the thing. But remember, take it easy. Not too
much swimming or tennis, at least for a week or two, but
a good walk by the sea every day will do you a world of good.
I’ll see you again when you come back, just to make sure
that you are all right. Don’t worry about yourself. If that
holiday doesn’t work wonders I’ll be very much surprised.
Another month and you’ll be fine. Good evening.
Ex. 2. Reproduce the dialogue.
