HANDOUT 2
RUSS 11 Intermediate Russian Conversation November 3, 2014
- My father is not very athletic, so he often gets sick (he is often sick).
- For example, he recently came down with bronchitis,
- …and so when I talk with him now, I always ask how he is feeling.
- Yesterday he said that he had just been to the doctor’s.
- The doctor measured his temperature and it was high.
- Then the doctor gave him an antibiotic and told him to stay in bed.
- The doctor also told my father to dress warmly and drink lots of tea.
- Overall (в общем), my father told me that he was not seriously ill,
- …but he did tell me that being sick is not fun (=is unpleasant)
- He also said he still had a headache.
- To this (на это) I said of course “Get well soon, Dad!”
- Thank God he in not in the hospital! It’s good he is at home.
- Unfortunately, though, Mom is at work all the time and our dog doesn’t know how to give him tea with lemon.
- And I live far. Well, at least I call always Dad to cheer him up (развеселить).

Overall (в общем), my father told me that he was not seriously ill,
The doctor measured his temperature and it was high.
…and so when I talk with him these days, I always ask how he is feeling.
Unfortunately, though, Mom is at work all the time and our dog doesn’t know how to give him tea with lemon.
To this (на это) I said of course “Get well soon, Dad!”
