Here is an easy English conversation lesson that you can use in your classroom. It takes about 15 minutes depending upon the level of your class. A more advanced class will do it in less time. First you read the dialogue with one student volunteer, and then have the students work in pairs reading the dialog to each other, switching parts saying the dialog to each other. Good luck! to my book that is on Amazon: The Relatives are coming to Visit
Going to the Doctor
Rina Levy : Hi Dr. Cohen, I
feel terrible. (cough cough)
Dr. Cohen: What seems to be
the matter?

desk. Good, you need some medication.

to all medications that contain penicillin.
Dr. Cohen I don't think that
you need an antibiotic. Don't worry.
Rina Thanks.
Dr. Cohen I wrote you out a
prescription for Robitussin, a cough syrup, to be taken only at bedtime, and a nasal
spray. This you use three times a day.

need some vitamins.
Dr. Cohen Ok, do you need a
multi-vitamin?
Rina Yes, and iron

I'd better hurry! Thank you doctor!
