A Visit to a Doctor On Monday Vlad felt unwell. He had a sore throat, a running nose and a bad cough. He went to college, but after the first period his teacher told him to go and see the doctor, because he had the symp¬toms of the flu, and it was a very catching disease. So Vlad left the college and went to a polyclinic. There were several people in the queue in front of the cabinet, but in less than half an hour Vlad's turn came and he entered.
Vlad: Good morning. May I come in?
Doctor: Yes, please. What is the matter with you?
Vlad: I think I have got a slight cold, doctor. I have a sore throat and a running nose.
Doctor: Do you cough?
Vlad: Yes, I do occasionally.
Doctor: Have you taken your temperature?
Vlad: As a matter of fact, I haven't, doctor.
Doctor; Then take a seat. Here is a thermometer. Well, young man, your temperature is rather high — it is 38.4°. Let me examine your throat. Now strip to the waist, please. I must sound your chest. All right, you may dress yourself.
Vlad: Well, doctor, is there anything serious the matter with me?
Doctor: Don't worry; there is nothing really serious. You have got flu. It is spring now, and many people suffer from flu. But you shouldn't treat your disease lightly. It often leads to complica¬tions, if a patient doesn't follow the doctor's advice.
Vlad: What am 1 to do, doctor?
Doctor: Here is the recipe, take these pills three times a day. Gargle your throat with this mixture every two hours. Don't go to the chemist's yourself. Ask your relatives to go and fetch the med¬icine for you. Drink hot tea or milk. And stay in bed for at least three days. Do you need a sick leave?
Vlad: Yes, I do.
Doctor: Then I'll give you a leave for three days, and then you will come to see me again.
Vlad: Thank you very much, doctor. Goodbye.
Having left the polyclinic, Vlad went straight home. He asked Alexei to go to the chemist's for the medicine and went to bed. He followed the doctor's advice and did everything he had prescribed. His friends called him and asked how he felt. They wanted to come and see him, but Vlad's mother didn't allow them to. So they sent him some to read. By the end of the third day Vlad stopped sneezing and cough¬ing and his temperature was normal again. He was glad that he recov¬ered.

How are you doing? I’m just writing to let you know that everything is all right now. This is a nice quiet place. The people are friendly, and the weather is warm. We’ve been staying here for ten days now, and we are already used to it.

Last week I went to the nearest park. This is a wonderful very beautiful place. I saw a lot of squirrels, they were so noisy and begged for food all the time. I gave them all the peanuts that I had. There is also a small pond at the park with ducks and beautiful water lilies.
Next week I’m going to start writing my new book, and it’s going to be very hard work. That is all for now.
Give my regards to Paul and the family. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Your loving sister,

Перевод письма:
Дорогая Джейн,
Как дела? Я просто пишу, чтобы ты знала, что все в порядке. Это хорошее тихое место. Люди дружелюбны и погода теплая. Мы находимся здесь уже десять дней и мы уже привыкли к этому.
Я много гуляю, но Фил просто тратит свое время на чтение газет и написание деловых писем. Иногда мы ходим на прогулку вместе.
На неделе я ходила в ближайший парк. Это замечательное очень красивое место. Я видела много белочек, они были настолько шумными и все время просил еду. Я отдала им все орешки, которые у меня были. Здесь в парке есть также небольшой пруд с утками и красивыми кувшинками.
На следующей неделе я собираюсь начать писать свою новую книгу, и это будет очень тяжелая работа. Это все.
Привет Полу и семье. Я с нетерпением жду весточки от вас в ближайшее время.
Твоя любящая сестра,
Анна
