NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS
WOMAN:
Can I help you?
MAN:
Yes, I've just moved to this area with my wife and children and I'd like to
know where we can all ____________ with a doctor at a Health Centre.
WOMAN:
Okay. Well, there's (Example) Doctor Green at The Harvey Clinic. We always
recommend her for babies, because she's very good with them and she runs
a ____________________.
MAN:
Oh...actually my youngest child is five, so that wouldn't be any good for us.
WOMAN:
Right.
MAN:
Is there anywhere else I could try?
WOMAN:
Yes, the Eshcol Health __________ is the next one on my list.
MAN:
How do you spell that?
WOMAN:
E-S-H-C-O-L. And it's Doctor Fuller, who has ____________ on his list. The clinic
only opened a year ago, so the ______________ are all very modern.
MAN:
That sounds good.
WOMAN:
And it's __________ good if you're busy during the day, because they also do
appointments in the evening. They're closed on Saturday, though. The only
other place on the list is the Health Centre on Shore Lane. You can register
with Doctor Gormley, that's G-O-R-M-L-E-Y. He's new there, but the centre has
a very good ____________.
MAN:
Oh yes, I think I know the [Link] would be the best one. Thanks. Could
you tell me, will all their services be free?
WOMAN:
Erm...there are usually some small __________ that doctors make. Let me see
what it says bout the Shore Lane Centre. If you need to be_________ before

injury treatment service operates on a paying basis, as does the __________
therapy service. Some health centres do offer alternative therapies like
homeopathy as part of their __________ service. Shore Lane are hoping to do
this soon - I think they may start with ___________. And finally, if you need to
prove you're healthy or haven't had any serious injuries before a new

most likely have to pay for insurance medicals though.
MAN:
Okay, thanks.

inviting the parents of _______ there - it says here 'all welcome'.
