1. Read the poem and say what the
problem was:
A Bad Case of Sneezes
Last night I had the sneezes.
I was really very ill.
My mother called the doctor
who prescribed a purple pill.
At eight o’clock I went to bed.
My mom turned out the light.
I used up one whole box of Kleenex
sneezing through the night.
I sneezed my brains out in my bed.
I didn’t get much rest.

D: How long have you been feeling like that?
P: Only about two or three days.
D: I’d like to look at you. Take off your
shirt, please.
P: OK. What is it, doctor?
D: I think, it’s tonsillitis. You’ll have to stay
in bed, of course. I’ll give you the
prescription for the tablets. Take two with
water every three hours.
P: Do I have to come to you again?
D: Yes, of course. You’ll have to come again
in 6 days, on Friday.
P: Thank you very much.

2. Read the dialogue and name the disease:
D: Come in, please. How can I help you?
P: I’m not very well. I’ve got a terrible
headache all the time. And this awful coughs.
D: Yes, and…
P: I feel awful.
D: OK. I’ll have a look at you. Take off your
shirt. And put this in your mouth. I want to
see if you got any temperature.
P: OK.
D: Let’s see. 39 degrees, that’s quite high.
P: What’s wrong with me?
D: It’s the flu, I think.
P: Oh, I worried.
D: There is nothing to worry about. You‘ll have

to stay in bed. You should take some medicine.
I’ll give you a prescription. You need lots of
vitamin C.
P: No antibiotics, Doctor?
D: No, no. You’ll have to come again in 4 days.
And now I’ll give you a letter for your work.
P: All right, thanks.
4. Read and say what the patient has
bought at the drugstore:
At the Drugstore
Pharmacist: Hi! Can I help you?
Mrs. Black: Yes, please. Could I have
something for a sore throat? I think, I’m
getting cold.
Pharmacist: Well, I suggest a bottle of this
spray for your sore throat. And you should
get a bottle of vitamin C, too.
Mrs. Black: Thank you. I’ll take them. Do
you have a body lotion?
Pharmacist: Yes, of course. Which one would
you like: pink or blue?
Mrs. Black: Pink, I think.
Pharmacist: Here you are.
Mrs. Black: Thank you very much.
Pharmacist: You’re welcome.
