The doctor’s visit

         Steve started to fell ill on Monday morning. He was pale. He had a headache and a sore throat. Besides he was sneezing and coughing badly. His mother took his temperature. It was very high. Steve had a fever. She said, “I think you can’t go to school today.  You have to stay in bed. I’ll call the doctor.”

          Mrs Parker phoned their family doctor, Mr Johnson.

          Mr Johnson came in an hour. He examined his patient, listened to his heart and lungs, looked at his eyes and ears. Steve had a bad cold.

          The doctor said, “Steve, you have to stay in bed for a day, gargle your throat with salt water three times a day, drink hot milk with butter and hone. Here’s the prescription, Mrs Parker. I think everything will be fine in a week. Follow my advice, please. 

I think that everybody wants to be healthy. And English and Ukrainian people wrote so many proverbs about health. So match the parts of the proverbs and give their Ukrainian equivalents

An apple a day                          makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Health is better                        but eat to live.

Early to bed, early to rise       than wealth.

Live not to eat                           keeps the doctor away.

Your home task is to make up dialogues “ At the doctor’s.”

Good luck!

See you soon!
