RECEPTIONIST: Surgery. Good morning. GERRY: Good morning. Can I make an appointment to see

the doctor today? RECEPTIONIST: We’re very busy this morning, I’m afraid. May I ask

what the problem is? GERRY: I’ve got a bad cold. Do you think I could see one

of the doctors just for five minutes? RECEPTIONIST: Hold on a moment . . . yes, Dr Smith is free at ten

– will that do? GERRY: Great. Thanks a lot. RECEPTIONIST: Not at all. See you at ten. GERRY: Bye.
