Doctors' office. May I help you?
Yes, my name is John Carver. I'd like to make an appointment to see Doctor Carter.
What seems to be the problem?
I guess I have a bad cold.
Do you feel lightheaded or have a fever?
No, neither. But my nose is off and running and I don't feel like eating anything.
Well, let me check the schedule. Doctor Carter has an opening at 3:00 o'clock this afternoon. Can you come in then?
At 3:00? No, I'm sorry I can't. I have an important lecture to attend then. How about tomorrow afternoon?
Let's see. Tomorrow afternoon at 2:00?
Yes, that would be fine.
