10. Изучите текст “At the Chemist’s”. Дайте ответ на следующий вопрос: What can one buy at the chemist’s beside drugs and things for patient’s care?

At the Chemist`s.

The doctor gave me a prescription to take to the Chemist’s. He prescribed aspirin, in case I got a headache. He also gave me a nerve tonic, as he said I was still suffering from shock. I didn’t have to pay him because medical treatment is free in England. Everyone pays so much per week Health Insurance (so it’s not really free after all). Foreigners who are visiting England have the same benefits as the natives, so for them it’s really free. At the Chemist’s I handed in the prescription and paid for each item on the prescription. This charge which was really resented, was introduced during the Labour Government’s term of office. They said the Health Service could no longer afford to give medicine free.

Whilst I was in the chemist’s, I thought I`d buy some other thing I needed. I ordered some talcum powder, two bars of soap, a tube of brushless shaving cream, a small bottle of olive oil, a toothbrush and a toothpaste, and a packet of razor blades. The goods were wrapped up by the chemist.

At the English drug store.

1. Изучите комментарии к тексту, прочтите текст и переведите его на русский язык.

 

One day I was playing cricket in the field and was catching the ball, right on the nose. The strike was so heavy that I was given a bloody nose and was in shock. I was given the first medical aid but in a short while I went to the doctor. He gave me a prescription to take to the chemist’s. I had a headache and was suffering from shock so he gave me a nerve tonic and aspirin.

I entered the chemist’s shop and came to the prescription department.

I: How do you do?

Chemist: How do you do. May I please have your prescription…You

have two items so you must pay four shillings, two shillings

for each item.

I: Why is not the chemist’s service free in England?

Chemist: When it was free, doctors were wasteful. They prescribed

medicines that people didn’t need. Here’s your medicine. Take

it three times a day according to the doctor’s advice.

I: Thank you but I would like to buy a couple of other things.

May I have two bars of soap, a tube of brushless shaving cream

and a packet of razor-blades.

Here they are.

Chemist: 10 shillings, please… Just a minute. Let me pack your things.

 

I: Thank you. Goodbye.

Chemist: You are welcome sir. Have a nice day.
