[00:05.98]Two people have just arrived at the hospital,each with a child.
[00:11.65]A nurse is asking them questions.
[00:15.91]Part One A:Can I help you?
[00:21.26]B:Yes,I wonder if you could look at Henry's leg?
[00:25.91]A:What's the matter with it?
[00:29.88]B:He was bitten by a dog yesterday evening and it was bleeding quite badly.
[00:36.34]A:Let's have a look at it then.I see...
[00:41.98]What did you do before bringing him here?
[00:46.42]B:I washed the wound under a running water for a few minutes,
[00:52.09]then I dried it with a cleaning cloth and
[00:56.45]tied another piece of clean cloth around it.
[01:01.13]A:Have you had any pain,does it hurt?
[01:05.78]C:Yes,it does hurt a bit.
[01:09.75]A:Was it your dog?
[01:12.91]C:No,it belongs to a neighbour.
[01:17.58]A:This is very important,the dog must be examined immediately.
[01:24.14]B:Why is that? The dog is usually very friendly.
[01:29.78]A:If the dog has a disease that makes it bite people,your son could die.
[01:36.63]Part Two
[01:39.27]A:Can I help you? B:Yes,this is my daughter,Jill.
[01:45.01]She is two and half. She's drunk some ink.
[01:50.08]A:Some ink? When did it happen? B:About half an hour ago.
[01:56.43]A:Did you give her any first aid?
[02:00.50]B:No,I didn't know what to do.
[02:04.66]I thought it might be poison,so I brought her here at once.
[02:09.80]A:Have you got the bottle with you? B:Yes,here it is.
[02:15.58]A:Do you know how much she drank?
[02:19.52]B:Well,the bottle was almost empty so I think not very much.
[02:25.87]A:Right,I'll take you to the doctor.Come this way,please.

[05:01.09]B:No,he was just standing there,poor boy,the car was moving much too fast,
[05:09.55]and the driver didn't even look to see where he was going.

[05:42.33]this boy ran out in front of me on his bike,
[05:47.69]I had no time to stop,there was nothing I could do.
[05:53.85]A:Did you see the boy before you turn?
[05:57.93]C:No,no.He must have been be riding too fast.
[06:03.78]There was no one waiting to cross the street when I looked
[06:09.63]A:How fast would you say you were going?
[06:13.89]C:Oh,not very fast.
[06:18.57]I stopped and it was just beginning the turn when I hit the boy.
[06:24.03]Really,you know how boys are,they don't watch where they're going |
