Hello Mrs. Wilson.
Hi Doctor.
How are you feeling?
I don’t feel good.
What’s bothering you?
I have a stomachache and a headache.
Where does it hurt?
Here.
Do you have a fever?
No, I don’t think so.
Let me look at your throat. Open your mouth. Your throat’s red. Does it hurt?
Yes. It’s sore.
When did it start to feel this way?
Last week.
I think you have a virus. It might be the flu. I’m going to give you a prescription for some medicine.
Thank you.
Try to get some rest, and be sure to drink lots of water and orange juice.

Kevin, what would you like to do?
I don’t know. Maybe watch TV.
That’s a good idea. We’re going shopping later so I think you should rest for a while.
I don’t think I want to go anymore.
What do you mean? I thought you said we were going shopping.
I know, but I changed my mind. I’m too tired.
Well, I still have a lot of stuff to buy. When do you think we’ll go?
Maybe tonight.
OK, would you mind if I use your phone?
Sorry, I don’t have a signal.
Are you kidding? I usually have really good reception here.
My phone is very old and it doesn’t work very well.
What if I take it outside?
Yes, that’s fine. It works well outside.

Andrew, would you like to play a game?
OK, what kind of game?
Let’s play cards. Do you know how to play Blackjack?
Yes, that’s an easy game. I don’t want to play that right now.
OK, Do you remember how to play poker?
I think so, but you’re going to have to explain the rules to me again.
Look at this piece of paper. It has all the rules on it.
OK, yes. I remember now. I think the last time we played this game, you won and I lost.
Yes, that was fun.
OK, let’s play, but this time I don’t want to bet money.
OK, we won’t bet. We’ll just play for fun.

Angela, come in.
Happy Birthday!
Thanks. I can’t believe you remembered that.
Well, I have a calendar on my computer. It helps me remember things like that. What are you up to?
I’m reading a book my cousin gave me for my birthday.
Let me see. Oh, I have this book at home. I want to give you a present too.
Wow, it’s a guitar. I already have one, but I like this one better. Thank you.
You’re welcome. Do you know how to play the guitar?
Yeah, I know how to play. My father taught me when I was young.
Will you play it now? I want to listen to some music.
Do you know this one?
Yeah, I’ve heard that one. I could sing that song when I was in middle school.
It’s an old one. It makes me feel old. When I was in college they use to play it on the radio all the time.

Good evening.

Around 9:30 AM.
