Man 1: Can you pass me a magazine (مجلة), please?
Man 2: This one?
Man 1: Yeah. Thanks.
Man 2: How long (كم المدة) have you been here?
Man 1: Half an hour. I came in just five minutes before you.
Man 2: Why do we always have to wait so long (ننتظر طويلاً)? They should know that we have to work, too. I don’t have time to sit here.
Man 1: No, I don’t either. I came in here with an earache (ألم في الأذن). Now I have a headache (صداع) as well. What about you?
Man 2: Pain in my back (ألم في ظهري). Sitting on chairs like these doesn’t help. What is the doctor (الطبيب) doing?
Man 1: Is it worth waiting? He’ll give us pills (حبوب دواء) and tell us to rest (نرتاح).

Male: Right – shall we try and do the timetable (جدول المواعيد) for the Sports Weekend?
Female: I’ve done one. Do you want to have a look at it?
Male: Fantastic! Let me see. Now, on Saturday we have only beginners’ classes (حصص للمبتدئين), and on Sunday only advanced classes (حصص للمتقدمين)? Is that right?
Female: Yes. And we start with karate. Karate beginners – Saturday, from ten o’clock to twelve o’clock.
Male: And the advanced class is – let me see now – Sunday, from two o’clock to four o’clock. Fine.
Female: Next, tennis. Advanced classes only. We have no beginners. Sunday evening from five o’clock to seven o’clock.
Male: No beginners at tennis?
Female: No. Everybody is advanced. But for athletics (ألعاب القوى), we only have a beginners’ class. That’s on Saturday from two o’clock to four o’clock.
Male: That leaves just two classes.
Female: That’s right. And they’ll be gymnastics (جمباز).
Male: No judo or swimming or horse-riding or …?

Teacher: Come in, Wendy. Don’t be shy (لا تخجلي). Sit down.
Wendy: Thank you.
Teacher: Now, what is it?
Wendy: Well – I can’t sleep (لا أستطيع النوم) at night and I get headaches (صداع) all the time.
Teacher: Are you worried (قلقة) about something? School? Exams?
Wendy: No, no. Nothing like that. I’m doing very well at school. And I never worry about exams. It’s just that I can’t sleep and then in the morning, I have a headache. Always. Every morning.
Teacher: Mm. Have you been to a doctor?
Wendy: No. My parents won’t take me. They don’t think I have a problem.
Teacher: Do you take any pills (حبوب دواء)?
Wendy: No. When I take pills, I get a stomach ache (ألم معدة).
Teacher: I see. You get a stomach ache. Er – what time do you eat in the evening?
Wendy: We have dinner at about 7.30 and then I have a glass of lemonade and a packet of crisps just before I go to bed. At about ten o’clock.
Teacher: Ah. That’s the problem. You shouldn’t have lemonade or anything like that just before you go to bed. Have a glass of warm milk (حليب دافئ) or some water. But no tea or coffee or lemonade. And no crisps. You’ll sleep better.
Wendy: And the headaches?
Teacher: You say you’re good at schoolwork.
Wendy: Yes.
Teacher: What about sports and games? Do you swim or play tennis?
Wendy: No. I don’t like swimming or tennis.
Teacher: How do you come to school?
Wendy: I live about one kilometre away. My father brings me in his car.
Teacher: But that’s not far! You should walk to school (تمشين للمدرسة). And walk home. You have to take some exercise. If you do, I think you’ll find that your headaches will go away.
Wendy: All right. I’ll try. Thank you.
