sneeuwen | to snow | |
glad | slippery, slick | |

de maand | month | |
het eind | end | |
de narcis | daffodil | |
de bloei | blossoming |
On Monday, January 2nd, we were supposed to have a party. A party in the middle of the winter. But it was snowing and the roads were slippery. Therefore it would be a month later. In February it was bad weather as well. It would have been better to hold it in the spring, perhaps the end of April when all the tulips and daffodils are blooming. Or otherwise in the summer when the days are long and the nights short. But no, it had to be in winter at all cost. In February, on a Friday... Why couldn't it be on a Saturday or a Sunday. Then we wouldn't have had to take days off.
Dialogue 9A - Doctor visits
We have seen morgen for tomorrow and gisteren for yesterday. Have a look at other terms related to time telling. Then translate the following conversation to see how to make a doctor's appointment.
Annie is bezorgd over haar gezondheid. Ze voelt zich niet goed en wil weten wat er mis is. Ze belt op om een afspraak met de dokter te maken.
Twee dagen later is zij in de spreekkamer.
De dokter onderzoekt haar en vraagt nog naar meer bijzonderheden.
Annie laat bloed afnemen en gaat naar de assistente.

- Annie: That is correct, since the fall, September I believe. I wanted to call day before yesterday, but something intervened. I don't feel well. It's been a while. When can I see the doctor?
- assistant: Let's see ... That will be the day after tomorrow, if you want to see doctor Bijlsma, because on Wednesdays she always works in the hospital. Otherwise it will be doctor De Lange. He does seem available tomorrow.

- assistant: I already called the hospital and tried to make an appointment. Next week the internist is not there, so it will be the beginning of next month. On Tuesday the second at three p.m. Is that possible?
