Unit 3 Activity 6&7 Listen and answer the questions.(Listen again and complete the notes)

Doctor: Mr Maxwell, please. 

Mr Maxwell: Hello, doctor. 

Doctor: How are you? 

Mr Maxwell: I’m fine. Thank you, doctor, but I need your advice. I want to give up smoking. 

Doctor: That’s a good idea. Smoking is very bad for your health. How much do you smoke? 

Mr Maxwell: Quite a lot. 

Doctor: Hmm, and when did you start smoking? 

Mr Maxwell: I started smoking when I was 19. That was 25 years ago. 

Doctor: Have you tried to give up? 

Mr Maxwell: Yes, I’ve tried several times, but I always start smoking again. Now, my daughter has asked me to give up, and I want to try again. She’s very worried about my health. And I want to succeed this time. 

Doctor: Well, let’s see. I’ll do some tests. Have you got a cough? 

Mr Maxwell: Yes, I have. And I’m not fit. I get a lot of colds. 

Doctor: Well, it’s a very good idea to stop smoking. Smoking causes many illnesses. 

Mr Maxwell: How can I succeed? 

Doctor: One thing you can do is to join a group. That often works because you have other people to help you.
