Passage 3
In Britain people usually have a doctor near their home or in their
town. This is the local doctor. You have to register with a doctor
before you can make an appointment. You usually have to fill in a
form and the doctor examines you. Families often all register with
the same doctor.
Doctors often work together in groups, and the name
of the place where they work is a Doctor's Surgery. The government
pays for this system, and it is free to .go to see your
doctor.
If the doctor decides that you need treatment he can
prescribe medicine. For example he can prescribe antibiotics for an
infection. Medicine can be tablets to take with water or liquid to
drink. The doctor writes the prescription. You take the
prescription to the chemist's, and the chemist will make up the
medicine for you. You usually have to pay some money for the
medicine一but you don't have to pay the full price.

Nick,
You asked about some thing:
Well, there’s not enough space for 90 people in the main

Saturdays. There will be a band. We have enough space for dancing
in the hall after the meal.
Don’t worry about the champagne! Molly says that 50 bottles are
enough. But I think 50 bottles are too much for our wedding.
Flowers—no, I don’t think we need another 10 bouquets for the
