Question

Exercise 1. a) Read the text. b) Summarize it in 5-6 sentences without using direct speech.
Hob sat in the doctor's waiting-room. On the chairs at the wall other patients were sitting. They all looked sad except Hob who was reading an exciting story in a magazine. Just then the doctor came in to say that he was ready to see the next person. Hob got up and went into the consulting room.
Before Hob could say a word the doctor said, «Now what's the trouble? Sit down there and we'll have a look at you. Unfasten your jacket and your shirt, please. I'll listen to your heart». Hob tried to speak, but the doctor interrupted him and ordered him to say «ninety-nine». Hob said it. «Now let me see your throat, open your mouth wide». The doctor had a good look and then he said, «Well, there's nothing wrong with you». «I know there isn't», said Hob, «I just came to get a bottle of medicine for my uncle».

Ответ:

In the waiting room, Hob observed the melancholic patients while engrossed in an exciting magazine story. When the doctor summoned the next person, Hob eagerly proceeded to the consulting room. Despite Hob's attempt to explain, the doctor swiftly directed him to undress and began the examination. Interrupting Hob's attempts to speak, the doctor instructed him to say "ninety-nine" and inspected his throat, concluding there was nothing amiss. Hob then clarified that he was merely there to collect medicine for his uncle, confirming he knew he wasn't the one needing medical attention.
