   P       Can I help you?

   M      Yes. Have you got 1.________ for a headache?

   P       We‘ve got aspirin or paracetamol.

   M      Er…paracetamol, please.

   P       A large or a small bottle?

   M      How big are they?

   P       50 tablets or 100 tablets.

   M      A small bottle then, please. And how many can I take?

   P       You can take two every four hours, if you 2.________ to. It‘s on the side of the
   bottle.

   M      Fine. Do I pay here?

   P       No. If you could take it to the 3.________ desk over there, please… 

   

   2                          P:   Pharmacist        W:   Woman      D: Her daughter

   W:     Do you have anything for sunburn – something to put on the skin? My daughter‘s burnt
   her arms and 4.________ quite badly.

   P:      I see. Could I have a look at her arms?

   W:     Yes. Show the lady, Sophie.

   P:      Um, yes, it is quite bad, isn‘t it?

   D:      Mm.

   P:      Well, I give you some cream for burns, but there‘s not really much we can do now. The
   most important thing is to keep it 5.________ up if you go out into the sun again.

   W:     Yes, of course.

   P:      And in future, remember to use a good sunscreen lotion. She‘s got very fair skin.

   W:     Yes, she was very silly. And which cream do you 6.________?

   P:      This one‘s very good. You can use it as often as you want.

   W:     Right, we‘ll take that one then. Thank you very much.

   

   3                                    P:   Pharmacist     W:  Woman

   W:     Erm… 7.________ me.

   P:      Yes?

   W:     Er… Do you have anything for, er… diarrhoea?

   P:      Is it for an 8.________?

   W:     Er, yes. For my husband, actually.

   P:      I see. And how bad is it?

   W:     Well, quite bad, actually. Yes… all night.

   P:      Any 9.________?

   W:     No, no. Just the…er…you know…

   P:      I see. Well, I can give you this. A spoonful of this medicine three times a day should
   help to stop the diarrhoea.

   W:     Thanks.

   P:      But if it‘s very bad I think he should see a doctor.

   W:     Oh, we don‘t know a doctor here.

   P:      Well, there‘s a phone number up there by the 10.________, can you see? Really I think
   that‘s the best thing.

   W:     Yes, I see. Well, where can I pay for the medicine…?
