Joke

Doctor's appointment

A man woke up one morning feeling under the weather. He decided to go see his doctor. The doctor gave him a thorough examination. He checked his heart, his lungs, he gave him some tests – blood tests, and X-rays…Then the doctor went out of the examination room.
He didn’t come back for quite a long time. When he came back, he told the man, “I’m afraid I have some bad news for you. You don’t have much time to left to live". The man was…shocked! He said, “What do you mean? How much time do I have?”The doctor said, “Ten...” But the man interrupted him. He said, “Ten what? Ten weeks? Ten months?” The doctor continued, “Ten, nine, eight, seven…”


Explanation:

felling under the weather = not feeling very well

thorough = complete

examination = looking at something very carefully

lungs = two things in our chest that we use to breathe

blood = the red stuff that goes through our bodies

x-rays = a way to take pictures of what is inside our bodies

quite a long time = not short but not very long

I’m afraid = a polite expression (it does NOT mean fear!)

Time left = time remaining (how much more time?)

Shocked = very, very surprised

É isso aí pessoal...Espero que você melhore a cada dia mais seu inglês com as dicas e textos que eu posto aqui no blog...Ah, acho que alguém deve estar pensando o que significa doctor's appointment. Tá bom, vou traduzir o título da piada. "Consulta Médica"... Take Care!
