[01:04.94]How come?Have you not been well?
[01:09.98]No.no.I’ve just had a really stressful day at work.That’s all.
[01:16.75]Well,Maybe you should go and have a lie down or something.
[01:22.21]No.it’s all right.I just need some aspirin¹.then I’ll be OK.
[01:28.97]2.While you listen
[01:41.12]At the doctor’s
[01:44.36]It was a pint² you wanted,wasn’t it?
[01:49.32]Yeah,cheers.Do you want a cigarette?Yeah,thanks.Oh,I need this.
[01:57.68]Have you had a bad week or something?Yeah,
[02:02.44]I’ve been really busy just trying to catch up with work after last week.
[02:08.78]Oh,yeah?I was ill all last week.It was awful.I had this terrible flu.
[02:17.14]I couldn’t sleep.I was sweating all through the night.
[02:22.42]and I’d get up in the morning and my whole body would be stiff³ and aching.
[02:29.08]It was terrible.I thought I was going to die.Honestly,it was awful.Yeah?
[02:37.73]So I rang the doctor and he just said he didn’t have any appointments till this Tuesday,
[02:45.67]so I said,What good is that?I’ll probably be better by then-or dead!
[02:52.23]So he said,Well,you don’t need to see me,then,and put the phone down.
[02:59.38]I couldn’t believe it.Doctors these days are just so unhelpful.Yeah.
[03:06.75]You know,my mum...she’s seventy
[03:11.79]and the other day she was coming home from the shops and she  slipped and fell over
[03:18.06]and when she work up the following day.she had a really sore back.
[03:24.41]She cold hardly move.She rang the doctor to ask him to come out,
[03:30.78]but he wouldn’t.so then she had to go all the way to the surgery⁴ by herself.
[03:38.15]Then,when she got there,she had to wait around for about an hour
[03:44.99]with all these really ill people coughing and sneezing and spreading their germs⁵.
[03:52.75]When she finally saw the doctor,he looked her over for about ten seconds
[04:00.01]and he just told her to go home and lie down for a few days.
[04:05.79]That was it!No pain-killers,no physiotherapy,nothing!
[04:12.13]And then on top of all that,he told her she should maybe lose some weight.
[04:19.79]No.Yeah!And then two days later,she got this nasty⁶ chest infection,
[04:27.73]which she probably picked up in the waiting room.
[04:32.48]so she went back and this time he just told her to take it easy and drink lots of water,
[04:40.74]She wanted some kind of medicine,
[04:44.87]but he said it wouldn’t work for some reason.I don’t know!
[04:50.64]It seems as if we pay all these taxes so we can have a free service,
[04:57.59]but all we really get from them is all this advice about giving up smoking,
[05:04.14]getting more exercise,cutting down on fatty food
[05:09.79]and anything else which makes life worth living.Doctors?
[05:15.22]They treat you as if you’re two years old!
[05:19.76]I know...do you want another cigarette?Well..
[05:25.41]I shouldn’t really.I’m trying to give up.Oh,all right.Just one last one!
[05:32.17]5  Pronunciation:sentence stress

[06:06.29]No.It shouldn’t be that hot.
[06:11.15]3.It’s going to be well below zero by the time we land in Finland.
[06:19.40]No.It shouldn’t be that cold.
[06:24.13]4.I’m terrified of injections⁷!It’s really going to hurt.
[06:31.78]It shouldn’t be that painful.
