Beginner

A: hello! How are you?

B: Not too well! I'm just to the doctor. I haven't been feeling too well over the last few days.

A: what have you got? A cough? A cold?

B: That's the funny thing. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just feel exhausted.

A: Perhaps you've been working too hard. You do have a high-pressure job.

B: Maybe. I haven't been able to keep my food down either. That's unusual.

A: Well. I'm sure the doctor will be able to prescribe something to make you well again. Dr. Jameson is very good.

B: yes, he is. I've make an appointment for 10 o'clock, so I'd better move along.

A: OK. Hope you feel better soon. You should take it easy. I'm sure the doctor will prescribe rest, you know.

Intermediate

A:Good morning. What seems to be the problem?

B: Good morning, doctor. I feel terrible. I've god a cold and I have a rash here on my neck. I'm not sleeping well either. What do you think the problem could be?

A: I'd say you've been working too hard or are under stress for some reason. Have you been taking anything for your cold?

B: Yes, I bought some medicine at the chemist's. I've been taking it for three days.

A: Good. I'm going to prescribe ( 开药方 ) something stronger. It will make you feel drowsy （昏昏欲睡） , so you certainly should rest.

B: OK. I can afford to take a fell day off work.

A: Have you been working hard recently?

B: Yes, I have. I had to get a project finished. It's done now, so I can relax a little.

A: Good. Let's take a look at that rash….it looks worse than it is. I'm going to prescribe some ointment for it. If the rash doesn't clear up in a few days, come back and see me. Do you have any other symptoms?

B: I have a bad headache, but…

A: Don't worry about that. It's probably of the stress you've been under. Just take some aspirin （阿司匹林药片） . Combined with the stronger cough medicine, it will make you feel very tired. You shouldn't work or use any equipment which requires concentration. If I were you, I'd just sleep, read a book, or watch TV. Here is your prescription.

B: Thanks doctor. I'll get these immediately. Goodbye.
