Translate into English:

Голкотерапію використовували з давних часів. Але в Україні про неї дізналися тільки в двадцятому сторіччі. Її стали використовувати паралельно з такими методами лікування як гомеопатія, йога, ароматерапія, рефлексологія, остеопатія. Цей метод альтернативної медицини не дає ускладнень, які можуть бути викликані ліками. Усвідомлюючи цю перевагу, люди все частіше починають звертатися до спеціалістів з голковколювання.

Голкотерапія лікує ускладнення після різних хвороб, головний біль, мігрень, безсоння, амнезію, астму, артрит, хворобу нирок, біль в спині, зубний біль та інші нездужання. Цей нетрадиційний метод лікування можна використовувати для профілактики, а також для підтрики доброго здоров’я.

Говорять, що голкотерапія може мати побічні ефекти: іноді у пацієнтів з"являється алергічна реакція після застосування голок, а зламані голки можуть не лише викликати природній страх, а й проколоти такі життєво важливі органи, як легені.

Все ж більшість людей надають перевагу методу голковколювання, оскільки вони вірять, що таким чином вони можуть контролювати те, що відбувається з їхніми тілами під час лікування.

A Visit to the Doctor

& 1. Read the text and describe your last visit to the dentist.

AT THE DENTIST’S

Once I had had a toothache for several days, but I couldn’t pluck up courage to go to the dentist. As a matter of fact I went twice, but just as I got on his doorstep and was going to ring the bell the toothache seemed to have gone away, so I went home again. But at last I had to go back, and this time I rang the bell and was shown into the waiting-room.

There were a number of magazines there, and I had just got in the middle of an exciting story when the maid came in to say Mr. Puller was ready to see me - I’ll have to wait for the next toothache to finish the story.

Well, I went into the surgery (the room where a doctor or dentist gives advice or treatment) and he told me to sit in a chair that he could move up and down, backwards and forwards, and then he had a look at the inside of my mouth. He put a little mirror on a long handle inside my mouth and poked about for a while, then he looked serious and said. “Yes, I’m afraid we can’t save that one, it will have to come out.”I asked him to give me an injection. He filled a syringe with some medicine. I felt a little prick on the gu m and then he injected the liquid. He did this in two or three places and waited for a minute or so.

My mouth felt rather dead. Then he took a pair of forceps, gripped the tooth, gave a twist, then a pull, and the tooth was out. I could see it and hear it but I couldn’t feel it. Then he said, “It’s all over. Spit in there and then wash your mouth out with this disinfectant”
