DOCTORS’ SURGERIES AND HOSPITALS When I go to the doctor, I tell the __1__ my name and take a seat
in the __2__ room. My doctor is very busy so I have to make a(an)
__3__ before I go to see him. He asks me what’s wrong with me, I tell
him the __4__ of my illness, for example high temperature, difficulty
in breathing, or pains, and then he will usually __5__ me. He’ll listen
to my heart with his __6__, he’ll hold my wrist to feel my __7__, he’ll
take my __8__ with his __9__. The problem is usually something
simple and he might give me a __10__ for some medicine, which I
take to the __11__. Of course, if I needed more serious __12__, I’d
have to go to hospital. There I’d be put in a bed in a(an) __13__ with

me, I might need a(an) __14__.
