V pondělí ráno se Marek probudil a cítil se špatně.On Monday morning Marek woke up and felt bad. Bolela ho hlava a bolelo ho v krku.He had a headache and a sore throat. Vzal si teploměr a měřil si teplotu.He took a thermometer and measured his temperature. Teploměr ukázal třicet osm a půl.The thermometer showed thirty-eight point five. Marek měl horečku, a proto nemohl jít do práce.Marek had a fever, so he could not go to work. Zavolal do firmy a řekl, že je nemocný.He called the company and said he was ill. Kolegyně mu řekla: „Zůstaňte doma a odpočívejte.“His colleague told him, “Stay at home and get some rest.”

Potom Marek zavolal do ordinace svého lékaře.Then Marek called his doctor's surgery. Sestra se ho zeptala na jméno a na datum narození.The nurse asked him for his name and date of birth. Marek řekl, že má horečku a že ho bolí v krku.Marek said that he had a fever and a sore throat. Sestra mu dala termín na jedenáct hodin.The nurse gave him an appointment at eleven o'clock. Řekla mu: „Nezapomeňte kartičku od pojišťovny.“She told him, “Don't forget your insurance card.” Marek se teple oblékl, protože venku byla zima.Marek dressed warmly because it was cold outside. Vzal si kartičku a jel tramvají do ordinace.He took the card and went to the surgery by tram.

V čekárně sedělo pět lidí.Five people were sitting in the waiting room. Někdo kašlal, někdo si četl noviny.Someone was coughing, someone was reading a newspaper. Marek čekal dvacet minut a pak ho sestra zavolala dovnitř.Marek waited twenty minutes and then the nurse called him in. V ordinaci byl mladý lékař.There was a young doctor in the surgery. Zeptal se: „Dobrý den, co vás bolí?“He asked, “Good afternoon, what hurts?” Marek odpověděl: „Bolí mě hlava a od včera mám horečku.“Marek answered, “I have a headache and I have had a fever since yesterday.” Lékař mu prohlédl krk a poslechl mu plíce.The doctor looked at his throat and listened to his lungs. Potom mu změřil tlak.Then he measured his blood pressure.

„Je to virus,“ řekl lékař.“It's a virus,” said the doctor. „Není to nic vážného, ale musíte pár dní zůstat doma.““It's nothing serious, but you have to stay at home for a few days.” „Pijte hodně čaje a vody a hlavně odpočívejte.““Drink plenty of tea and water, and above all, rest.” Lékař napsal Markovi recept na léky proti bolesti.The doctor wrote Marek a prescription for painkillers. Také mu dal neschopenku na pět dní.He also gave him a sick note for five days. Marek se zeptal: „Kdy mám přijít znovu?“Marek asked, “When should I come again?” Lékař odpověděl: „Když vám bude v pátek ještě špatně, přijďte.“The doctor answered, “If you still feel bad on Friday, come back.” „Když bude všechno dobré, můžete jít v pondělí do práce.““If everything is fine, you can go to work on Monday.”

Cestou domů se Marek zastavil v lékárně.On the way home Marek stopped at the pharmacy. Dal lékárnici recept a ona mu připravila léky.He gave the pharmacist the prescription and she prepared the medicine. Léky stály sto padesát korun.The medicine cost one hundred and fifty crowns. Lékárnice mu vysvětlila, jak má léky brát.The pharmacist explained how to take the medicine. Marek si koupil ještě čaj, citron a med.Marek also bought tea, a lemon and honey.

Doma si uvařil čaj a lehl si do postele.At home he made tea and lay down in bed. Odpoledne spal skoro tři hodiny.In the afternoon he slept almost three hours. Večer mu volala máma a ptala se, jak se cítí.In the evening his mum called and asked how he was feeling. Marek řekl, že už je to lepší, protože horečka není tak vysoká.Marek said it was already better, because the fever was not so high. Ve středu se cítil dobře a v pátek už horečku neměl.On Wednesday he felt well and by Friday the fever was gone. V pondělí ráno šel do práce a kolegům řekl, že je zdravý.On Monday morning he went to work and told his colleagues that he was well. Byl rád, že u lékaře rozuměl všem otázkám.He was glad that he had understood every question at the doctor's.
