What time did Richard see the doctor?
A: I'm glad we went to the doctor, Richard. You weren't very well last night.
B: Yes. I couldn't sleep all night and then I had to get up at eight o'clock. I wanted to stay in bed this morning.
A: I know but we had to go at nine. It was the only time the doctor could see you. Anyway, it's only ten o’clock now. You could go back to bed, you know.
1. What did the doctor tell Richard to do?
B: Oh no! I don't want to do that! Anyway, the doctor said I didn't have to go to bed. I could just sit quietly and read a book.
A: OK. Why don't you do that then?
B: And he said I didn't have to take any horrible medicine, so I'm not having any more!
A: OK!
2. What's the matter with Richard now?
A: So, how are you feeling now?
B: Still not very well. My stomach’s better, but I've still got a bad headache.
A: Oh dear, but the cough's gone now?
B: Yes.
A: That's good.
3. What does Richard ask his mother for?
A: Are you comfortable? Can I get you anything? Would you like some biscuits?
B: Not now thanks. But I'm a bit cold. Could I have a blanket?
A: Yes. And how about a nice cup of hot chocolate?
B: No, thanks.
A: OK then.
4. What homework has Richard got to do?
A: Have you got any homework? You could do that if you're feeling better.
B: Oh, but I haven’t got much homework. I’ve done my history and I've just got some Maths.
A: Nothing else?
B: Oh! I've got to write a story for English.
A: Well, you could try to do that then.
B: When I've watched this film Mum. It's so exciting!
5. When is Richard going to go back to school?
B: Mum, I’m bored. Can I go back to school tomorrow? We have good lessons on Thursdays.
A: No, the doctor said not tomorrow.
B: OK, Friday then. I'm feeling much better now.
A: Well, I think we'll wait until after the weekend. Let's say Monday, shall we?
B: But I'm so bored, Mum!
