---------- HẾT----------
Mike: Look Ann, it’s Wednesday already and we still haven’t decided what to buy Jill and Tony
for their wedding.
Ann: Oh relax Mike, there’s plenty of time. They’re not getting married until the weekend.
Mike: Typical. You leave everything to the last minute. We’re both working tomorrow and
Friday. We don’t have much time at all. Let’s at least talk about what we should buy them.
Ann: OK. Well, I think it should be something amusing, something that’ll make them smile.
Mike: Well, maybe. No. I think it should be sensible. Something that will last forever. It’s an
important day after all. And we should buy them something that will remind them of us.
Ann: Well what for example?
Mike: I don’t know. Why don’t you get them something? You know them better than I do.
Ann: No I don’t. I play tennis with Jill once a month but I only met them last year. You went to
university with Tony. And didn’t you go out with Jill for a while?
Mike: No I didn’t. It was her sister. But that was ages ago. I wonder if she’ll be at the wedding.
Ann: What do you think it’ll be like?
Mike: The wedding – oh, there are going to be over a hundred guests. There should be quite a lot
of people we haven’t seen for a while. I’m looking forward to it.
Ann: Yes, so am I. I wish that it wasn’t such a big even though. I think it’s better with just a few
guests. Big weddings can be a bit unfriendly.
Mike: They make a nice couple though, don’t they? I’m sure they’ll be very happy.
Ann: Oh yes, I like them both and they seem to get on very well.
Mike: So what are we going to buy them?

Part 2
Are you interested in fashion? Do you like fashionable clothes? My sister Sabrina and I really love
going shopping for cool clothes and even making our own sometimes. And we often go shopping
together. She's a bit older than me and she often chooses things for me that I don't really like at
first. But then I put them on and they look great. Anyway, last weekend we went to a really big
fashion store in the city. They actually have someone who can give you advice about what to wear if
you make an appointment. My mum decided that because we were studying hard at school, she'd
do something special for us. So she arranged for us to go together and have what they call a
makeover where you can change your whole look. So there we were at the store at about ten in the
morning. And the assistant took us into a special area to talk to us. What sort of personality we've
got and what colors we like, that kind of thing. So that she could find the right clothes for each of
us. It was really interesting and we felt quite important. My sister's very attractive and confident
and loves wearing smart clothes in bright colors. And she always looks great. I wasn't so sure what
to say about myself. I'm quite shy sometimes, really, and my clothes are usually in dark colors and
very casual. The complete opposite to my sister. So I was a bit worried about what might happen
next. Then we went into the changing rooms and the assistant brought us a whole range of things to
choose from. Some of them I really didn't like, but others were amazing. We tried them all on and
really didn't know which ones to buy because we wanted to buy everything. But we didn't have
enough money for that. So we just chose a small number of nice things that we really loved. We had
our hair and makeup done too. And when I looked in the mirror at myself I couldn't believe what I
saw. Then it was time to go home with our purchases. We wore our new clothes to go home. We just
didn't want to take them off and put our old clothes on again. When mum saw us, she was amazed.
In fact, she thought we looked so great that she took us out to eat to a pizza restaurant in town,
which for us was a real treat.
Part 3
Total Health Clinic
CARL:
Hi, come and take a seat.
JULIE:
Thank you.
CARL:
My name’s Carl Rogers and I’m one of the doctors here at the Total Health Clinic. So I understand this is
your first visit to the clinic?
JULIE:
Yes, it is.
CARL:
OK, well I hope you’ll be very happy with the service you receive here. So if it’s alright with you I’ll take
a few details to help me give you the best possible service.
JULIE:
Sure.
CARL:
So can I check first of all that we have the correct personal details for you? So your full name is Julie
Anne Garcia?
JULIE:
That’s correct.
Page 4 of 7
CARL:
Perfect. And can I have a contact phone number?
JULIE:
It’s 219 442 9785.
CARL:
OK, and then can I just check that we have the correct date of birth?
JULIE:
October tenth, 1992.
CARL:
Oh, I actually have 1991, I’ll just correct that now. Right, so that’s all good. Now I just need just a few
more personal details … do you have an occupation, either full-time or part-time?
JULIE:
Yes, I work full-time in Esterhazy’s – you know, the restaurant chain. I started off as a waitress there a
few years ago and I’m a manager now.
CARL:
Oh I know them, yeah, they’re down on 114th Street, aren’t they?
JULIE:
That’s right.
CARL:
Yeah, I’ve been there a few times. I just love their salads.
JULIE:
That’s good to hear.
CARL:
Right, so one more thing I need to know before we talk about why you’re here, Julie, and that’s the name
of your insurance company.
JULIE:
It’s Cawley Life Insurance, that’s C-A-W-L-E-Y.
CARL:
Excellent, thank you so much.
JULIE:
Now Julie, let’s look at how we can help you. So tell me a little about what brought you here today.
CARL:
Well, I’ve been getting a pain in my knee, the left one. Not very serious at first, but it’s gotten worse, so I
thought I ought to see someone about it.
JULIE:
That’s certainly the right decision. So how long have you been aware of this pain? Is it just a few days, or
is it longer than that?
CARL:
Longer. It’s been worse for the last couple of days, but it’s three weeks since I first noticed it. It came on
quite gradually though, so I kind of ignored it at first.
Page 5 of 7
JULIE:
And have you taken any medication yourself, or treated it in anyway?
CARL:
Yeah, I’ve been taking medication to deal with the pain. Tylenol, and that works OK for a few hours. But
I don’t like to keep taking it.
JULIE:
OK. And what about heat treatment? Have you tried applying heat at all?
CARL:
No, but I have been using ice on it for the last few days.
JULIE:
And does that seem to help the pain at all?
CARL:
A little, yes.
JULIE:
Good. Now you look as if you’re quite fit normally?
CARL:
I am, yes.
JULIE:
So do you do any sport on a regular basis?
CARL:
Yes, I play a lot of tennis. I belong to a club so I go there a lot. I’m quite competitive so I enjoy that side
of it as well as the exercise. But I haven’t gone since this started.
JULIE:
Sure. And do you do any other types of exercise?
CARL:
Yeah, I sometimes do a little swimming, but usually just when I’m on vacation. But normally I go
running a few times a week, maybe three or four times.
JULIE:
Hmm. So your legs are getting quite a pounding. But you haven’t had any problems up to now?
CARL:
No, not with my legs. I did have an accident last year when I slipped and hurt my shoulder, but that’s
better now.
JULIE:
Excellent. And do you have any allergies?
CARL:
No, none that I’m aware of.
JULIE:
And do you take any medication on a regular basis?
CARL:
Well, I take vitamins but that’s all. I’m generally very healthy.

JULIE:
OK, well let’s have a closer look and see what might be causing this problem. If you can just get up …
