第一思培精听练习s9p1p1

1

Hi there. I was walking by and noticed your sign outside.

00:00 / 00:03

2

It says that you do massage therapy here

00:00 / 00:02

3

and you can bill my health insurance for part of it.

00:00 / 00:02

4

Is that correct?

00:00 / 00:01

5

It certainly is.

00:00 / 00:02

6

We do massage and acupuncture here.

00:00 / 00:02

7

Would you like to book an appointment?

00:00 / 00:02

8

Yes, but first I want to make sure it’s covered through my health insurance plan at work.

00:00 / 00:04

9

I’ll come back once I find out.

00:00 / 00:02

10

No problem. But just to let you know

00:00 / 00:03

11

in order to be covered for special therapies like massage or acupuncture

00:00 / 00:04

12

most health insurance companies require a referral note from a family physician.

00:00 / 00:05

13

Oh really? Ok, well I actually have an appointment with my family doctor tomorrow.

00:00 / 00:06

14

That’s perfect! See you later then.

00:00 / 00:03

15

Hi, I’m back, and I have a referral form from my doctor.

00:00 / 00:04

16

I’ve had this terrible pain in my shoulder for weeks

00:00 / 00:03

17

probably from playing basketball or baseball.

00:00 / 00:03

18

Well, we have registered massage therapists that specialize in sports injuries.

00:00 / 00:05

19

Would you prefer a full body massage or just to treat that one specific area?

00:00 / 00:05

20

I think I’d prefer to focus on my upper back.

00:00 / 00:03

21

That’s helped before.

00:00 / 00:01

22

My arms, legs, and feet get a little achy after a game, but nothing too bothersome.

00:00 / 00:05

23

OK. We can book your massage for 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, or 75 minutes.

00:00 / 00:07

24

Hmm, what do you suggest?

00:00 / 00:02

25

I’d love a 75-minute massage, but maybe that’s too much time to spend on one area.

00:00 / 00:05

26

Thirty minutes seems too short, though.

00:00 / 00:03

27

Well, since you’re only treating one area, I’d probably recommend a 45-minute massage.

00:00 / 00:06

28

Oh, I almost forgot. My girlfriend wants to come too.

00:00 / 00:04

29

Do you have two appointments at the same time?

00:00 / 00:03

30

She wants a 60-minute relaxation massage.

00:00 / 00:03

31

OK then . . . you’re in luck,

00:00 / 00:04

32

it looks like we’ve had a cancellation and I can fit you both in Thursday, at five o’clock.

00:00 / 00:06

33

So, how was your massage?

00:00 / 00:02

34

Does your shoulder feel better?

00:00 / 00:02

35

Yes, it really does!

00:00 / 00:02

36

My therapist used just the right amount of pressure.

00:00 / 00:03

37

Would it be possible to book monthly appointments with her?

00:00 / 00:03

38

Of course! I’m glad you’re pleased.

00:00 / 00:03

39

How about your girlfriend?

00:00 / 00:02

40

Did she have a positive experience?

00:00 / 00:02

41

I’m not sure . . . she’s not out yet.

00:00 / 00:02

42

OK then,

00:00 / 00:01

43

so is there a day and time that would work best for you?

00:00 / 00:04

44

Monday evenings would be good,

00:00 / 00:02

45

after 5:30 when I get off from work.

00:00 / 00:02

46

It’d be a great way to start the week.

00:00 / 00:02

47

Maybe the last Monday of each month.
