B: Weil, when I got home from work last night I felt nauseous and my vision was blurry. Then I vomited and started to get the most awful headache. I went to bed early but I couldn't sleep for the pain.

A: Did you see the doctor?

B: Yes, I went this morning. He said l've had a migraine attack. I've never had one before.

A: Did he prescribe you anything?

B: Yes, he gave me some painkillers and a medicine that stops you from vomiting. The thing is, he advised me not to go to work today. He wants me to stay home and rest, lying down in a dark room.

A: When do you think you might be able to return to work? Is there any chance you might be able to come in tomorrow? We have a lot of deadlines to meet this month, you see.

B: Weil, I can't promise anything. The doctor toid me migraines can last for up to three days, but I already feel a bit better with the painkillers. If I can't make it tomorrow, NI give you a cali in the morning. Is that all right?

A: Of course, Laura. I hope you feel better soon.

B: Thank you. Mr Brannigan.

6    Suggested Answer Finding Time for Fitness

People today lead busy hectic lifestyles, particularly if they are working nine-to-five, and this means it can be hard to fit a regular exercise routine into their daily Schedule. Nevertheless, setting aside time to keep fit is vitally important.

A useful suggestion would be to work out exactly what spare time you have and what exercise you intend to do, and then stick to that Schedule rather than leaving things to chance. If you follow a set routine, the result will be greater organisation and a morę effective use of your spare time.

Another solution could be to avoid using sports clubs or gyms that are far away from where you live. Instead, look for facilities in your own area or even create your own informal exercise group with friends. Then, not
