ROLE PLAY: A Doctor’s Visit A = Doctor B= Patient A: Hi. Come on in and have a seat. Now what seems to be the problem? B: I have a rash on my arm. A: How long have you had the rash? B: It’s been about a week. A: Are you taking anything for it? B: I put some cream on it but it doesn’t seem to be helping. A: I see. Are you allergic to any medications? B: Not that I know of. A: I’m going to give you a prescription for some ointment. I want you to apply it

three times a day. You should also avoid scratching your skin. And it’s important to use as little

COCKNEY RHYMING SLANG

Cockney rhyming slang originated in the East end of London.

Sort of secret code ,two theories:1-invented by prisoners who wanted to communicate with one another without the guards understanding 2-that market vendors invented it to be able to speak without the customers understanding them.

It works by taking a pair of connected words (e.g. Boat race) and the second word rhymes with the word you want to hide. (e.g. She’s got a beautiful boat– meaning she’s got a beautiful face!) (Sometimes it can be one word that just rhymes with the word you want to hide).
