ashore.

CAPTAIN. We have no animals, except a dog and two cats.

MEDICAL OFFICER. It is just the same. You must confine your cats and dogs and not let them out on deck.

LABORATORY EXERCISES

I. Listen to the text of the lesson again and answer the following questions!

1. Who is the first person to come aboard on the ship's arrival? 2. What is the duty of the medical officer of the port? 3. What documents is he to examine? 4. Who issues the bill of health? 5. In what case is the certificate of pratique given to the ship? 6. Who issues the certificate of pratique? 7. What does this document allow the ship to do? 8. What does this document allow the crew and passengers to do? 9. In what case is the ship put in quarantine? 10. What assistance does the medical officer render when there are sick or injured persons aboard?

II. Ask your partner questions and make him give brief answers using the model.

Model: You must have all the deck-hands lined up.

Shall we have them lined up at once? Yes, you shall, it's obligatory.

1. You must have these sailors examined by a doctor. 2. He must have them taken to hospital. 3. You must have the ship disinfected. 4. They must have these people X-rayed. 5. You must have these holds fumigated.

III. Listen to the short dialogues, repeat each sentence during the pauses and learn the dialogues by heart:

"Will you show me your latest bill of health, please?" "Yes, certainly. Here it is."

73

"Thank you... It's all right. Please take it back."

"Any sick persons on board?" "No, none. Everybody is all right."

***

"We have some injured people aboard. We must have them taken for hospital treatment immediately."

"All right, we'll see to that at once."

IV. Listen to each of the long dialogues again and retell briefly their contents from thepointof view of: (a) one speaker, (b) the other speaker, (c) an onlooker.

V.Write the dictation:

As soon as we arrived at the port the medical officer came aboard. He examined our bill of health and asked if we had any sick persons aboard. We had two sailors badly injured during a storm and he helped us to place them to hospital for medical treatment. As we had no infectious diseases on board and everybody was practically quite healthy he issued the certificate of pratique at once. Then he asked if we had an unusual rat mortality. But we showed him our certificate of deratization, where it was stated that the ship had been recently fumigated and disinfected. The medical officer was quite satisfied. He handed over a declaration which the captain was to sign. Soon we began making fast to the pier.

VI. Practise in pairs enacting the following situations. You act as the captain (or chief mate), your partner — as the customs officer in (a), as the health officer in (b). Then you change your parts.

(a) You are relating to the customs officer how the medi cal officer came aboard your vessel and what questions he put to you. The customs officer is interested whether there are some sick people aboard and what document was given to you by the medical officer.

74

(b)There was an accident aboard your vessel and one deck-hand was badly injured. You are arranging with the health officer to take the sick person to a local hospital to have him X-rayed, because you apprehend that he might have broken his bones.

VII. Translate into English:

По прибытии в порт наше судно было осмотрено санврачом. Он проверил наши документы, т.е. санитарное свидетельство, удостоверения о дератизации и дезинфекции, и выдал разрешение на свободную практику. Потом он вручил нам декларацию о санитарных правилах в порту, которую он попросил капитана подписать. Позже у нас произошел несчастный случай на судне: три человека из команды получили при погрузке серьезные травмы. Мы немедленно вызвали санврача, и он помог нам отправить их в госпиталь. Наш доктор опасался перелома (костей), и поэтому они должны были пройти рентгеноскопию. К счастью, все обошлось хорошо, и они тут же вернулись назад на судно.
