Dr: Hi Mr. Smith, I'm doctor Hawkings, why are you here today?
Mr. Smith: I found it'll be a good idea to get checked up.
Dr: Yes.Well, you haven't have one for, uh five years. You should have one
every year.
Mr. Smith: I know, I think as long as there's nothing wrong, why could I
see a doctor?
Dr: Well, the best way to avoid serious illnesses is to find out about them
early. So, try to come at least once a year, for your own good.
Mr. Smith: OK.
Dr: Let me see here. Your eyes and ears look fine. Take a deep breathe
please. Do you smoke, Mr. Smith?
Mr. Smith: Yes.
Dr: Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer and heart disease, you
know. You really should quit.
Mr. Smith: I've tried hundreds of times, but I just can't seem to kick the
habit.
Dr: Well, we have classes and some medications that my help. I'll give you
more information before you leave.
Mr. Smith: OK. Thanks, doctor.
