2 Read the text. Some facts concerning the system of health service.

In case of some troubles with your health the first you should do is to consult your physician. But if the illness is serious, or the operation a big one, he will advise you to see a specialist. If you have to undergo an operation you will be advised to go to a hospital where they have all the necessary equipment.

If your teeth need attention, stopping, filling, or extracting, or if you need false teeth, then you go to the dentist.

If your eyes need attention, you go to an oculist, who will examine your eyes, test your sight to see whether you are suffering from short-sight or long-sight, and will write out a prescription, which you take to an optician, who will then make the necessary glasses for you.

The common illnesses are; a cough, a cold, influenza (the flu), sore throat. Children often get: measles (including "German" measles), mumps, scarlet fever and whooping-cough. Older people suffer from indigestion, rheumatism, heart troubles and blood-pressure.

Some diseases are infectious, and great care must be taken by people who have these illnesses, so that they don't pass them on to other people.

You may have toothache, earache, headache. All these give you pain. Then you may get a burn, a scald or a wound, you may get blood poisoning, or break a bone.

Some of the commonest things used to prevent or cure illnesses are: medicine, pills, powders, ointment, sleeping-pills, injections, bandages, massage, disinfectants, antiseptics, tablets.

It isn't very cheerful to see this list of things you might have, is it? But there is a very good English saying - it's easy to put into practice - "An apple a day keeps a doctor away."
