A visit to the hospital

Joyce: Excuse me. Could you tell me which ward Mr John Smith has ended up in please? I’m his wife. Nurse: Certainly. He’s in Ward 4, room 22. You may need to wait. He’s undergoing tests at the moment. Joyce: So, he’s okay? What happened? Nurse: You’ll need to speak to the Doctor on duty about that. Just go along the corridor and turn right and you’ll spot Doctor Sing outside room 22. Joyce: Ta. ---------------------Joyce: Hello, are you Doctor Sing? Doctor: Yes. Ah, you must be Joyce. Your husband collapsed at work. We’re looking into it at the moment. Joyce: Will he be okay? Doctor: Well, I’m going to have to impose on him a new health regime. Preliminary tests indicate a risk of heart disease. But I want to make it clear that this was not a heart attack. He did not exhibit regular heart attack symptoms but his condition warrants further investigation. Joyce: When will we know for sure? Doctor: I should have the test results back within a few days. But he should be well enough to go home today. He’s showing signs of continuously high blood pressure as a possible result of constant stress. He’ll need to take the next week or so off. Joyce: So, what should I do? Doctor: Warn him off fatty foods, sketch out a diet regime rich in green and red fruits and vegetables, and increase his water intake. No salt, no caffeine, no dairy and only lean meat or chicken. And definitely no alcohol. Joyce: Oh my God! He’ll never be able to do without any of those. Doctor: Well, it’s either that or he’ll be back here in worse condition within the next few months. He can’t wriggle out of it this time. Oh and after he’s adjusted to his new diet, he has to give up the ciggies. Joyce: Okay Doctor. I’ll let him know about those foods, but I don’t know if he’ll come at giving up the smokes. Doctor: I suspect that his arteries have narrowed. This is a common cause of high blood pressure. I’ve given him a prescription for some Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and a Diuretic. Please follow the prescription exactly, otherwise he could take a turn for the worse. Joyce: Okay, thanks a lot Doctor. http://www.speakoz.com/english-directory/lesson-plans/hospital.html

Role Playing Script

Lesson #6 (parts needed are Narrator, Mary, Cheryl, Mr. Olsen, and Marcy) Narrator: Mary and Cheryl have been best friends since kindergarten. They play together at recess and always stand up for one another when they need to. They are the last two students to leave the washroom at the end of the lunch recess. Mary: (holding the door open) Hurry up Cheryl or we’re going to be late. Cheryl: (holds up a ring) Look what I found on the floor. I think this is a real pearl in the ring. Mary: You can turn it into the office at last recess. (Cheryl puts the ring in her pocket) Narrator: Both girls leave the washroom and go to their classroom. They get to their desks just as the afternoon announcements start. Mr. Olsen the Principal: Good afternoon everyone. The character trait we have been focusing on this week is accepting responsibility for our actions. Be sure to practice this if the opportunity arises. The only other announcement I have this afternoon is from Marcy. Marcy: Hi everyone. This morning I lost my pearl ring. I think I might have dropped it in the washroom. It is very special to me because my grandma gave it to me. If anyone finds it, could you please turn it into the office? Narrator: Mary looks at Cheryl and smiles. Mary: (looks toward the ceiling as if she is thinking and speaks her thoughts aloud) I’m sure glad Cheryl found the ring. Now she will be able to show everyone how honest she is.

Cheryl: (looks toward Mary with a guilty look on her face and speaks her thoughts aloud) I’ve always wanted a ring like the one I found. Narrator: At recess Mary and Cheryl head outside together. Mary: Cheryl, aren’t you going to take the ring to the office before we go outside? Cheryl: I’ll take it after school. Let’s hurry outside and get the swings.Narrator: That night after supper Mary phones Cheryl at home. Mary: Hi Cheryl. Did Mr. Olsen thank you for being so honest when you turned in the ring? Cheryl: I didn’t take it to the office Mary. I really like it and I’m going to keep it. Mary: But Cheryl, it’s not yours. It belongs to Marcy. It would be kind of like stealing if you kept it. Cheryl: No it’s not. I found it and Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers! You’re the only one who knows so promise you won’t tell anyone. Narrator: Mary’s not sure what to do. She doesn’t want to tell on her best friend but she knows that keeping the ring would be dishonest.
