Ilnesses and their treatment – Болезни и их лечение

Nobody likes visiting a doctor. However, when people feel sick they make an appointment with a doctor, send for a doctor or, in most serious cases, call an ambulance. For such illnesses as flu, cold, hay fever, food poisoning, you can buy either some medicine from the chemist, or have a prescription made up. Undoubtedly, all of the illnesses have different symptoms. For instance, if you have a sore throat, sneezing and cough, it is obvious that you have caught a cold. But when you are running a high temperature and have symptoms for cold, you’ve got flu. Let us try to make another diagnosis. If you feel sick, want to vomit and have a stomachache, you must have got a food poisoning.

Many people are afraid of dentists. However, it is essential to see your dentist for a regular checkups and cleaning. It will help to prevent dental caries. Besides, doctors recommend that people should brush their teeth each time after meals. Anyway, when people have a toothache they should make an appointment with a doctor as soon as it is possible. The doctor will use a local anesthetic to the area around the tooth and fill the cleaned out cavity or pull it out. Sometimes after the treatment you will have to take some anti-inflammatory drugs or pain-killers. So, if you follow all of your doctor’s recommendations, you’ll recover very soon.

The most common childhood diseases are measles, pneumonia, flu, scarlet fever and sore throat. If the disease is catching, the sick child is usually isolated and should keep the bed. Doctors usually recommend that the patients should drink a lot of hot tea with lemon and honey as well as taking some pills for curing.

The most serious diseases include heart attacks, asthma, multiple sclerosis, sepsis and many others. In case of unbeatable illness most people need special medical attention and are under care of a doctor in hospital. Anyway, any hospital stay, any treatment or any surgical operation is stressful. That is why visitors may see the patients. Moreover, experts say that visitors can be good medicine for patients because they can help, support and distract them from disturbing problems.
Taking into consideration all mentioned above, I think that all people should take care of their health and go for regular checkups. Undoubtedly, sooner or later all people are sick and have health problems. So, for speedy recovery it is essential to follow the doctor’s advice.

5.Reading of the text(2)

Good Health Is Above Wealth There is a good proverb in English:" Good health is above wealth". Health was valued greatly in all times and in all countries. The ancients said: "A sound mind in a sound body". Therefore we must live a (health) life. A healthy way of life consists of physical exercises, good plain food, absence of bad habits, such as (smokе) and (drink). Our town life today gives us little opportunities for (physic) exercises and motion. We have running water and central heating in our flats, we like to sit in a comfortable armchair and watch TV on our days off. We often forget that fresh air and exercises are good for the health. We eat much meat and sugar, but not much fruit and vegetables. The problem of food is very important for the healthy way of life. We may again remember another English proverb: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Doctors always advise us to eat more vegetables and fruit, because there are very many vitamins in them. Everybody who has bad habits must try to give them up, if he doesn't want to fall ill. Besides, it is not very (use) to sit up late at night before a TV-set and sleep till noon the next day. And another English proverb says: "Early to bed, early to rise makes the man healthy, wealthy and wise". A person is healthy when he is free of illness. But if you are ill or have sharp pain you have to go to the doctor immediately. He will listen to your lungs. Then the doctor will take your blood pressure and feel your pulse. If you have a bad cold, а high temperature and hacking cough, when you have a sore throat, it will be difficult for you to swallow and to breathe. Perhaps the doctor will ask you to buy the medicine and to stay in bed for some days. If the doctor (prescribe) a medicine for you, you should take it (regular). You will drink warm milk if you have a (run) nose. You will recover (early) if you stay in bed. People all over the world are fond of sport and games. Sport makes people healthy and keeps them fit. All necessary facilities are (provide) for them: stadiums, sports grounds, swimming-pools, skating rinks, football fields. In general, our people are fond of sport and games, but many of them watch football, hockey and basketball on TV, lying on a comfortable sofa. If you want to keep fit you must go in for one kind of sport or another. Sport, healthy food and absence of bad habits help us to live a healthy life. It can help us to relax and to keep fit, to make new friends and to plan our life, to develop our mind and body and to be strong.
