在中国，你生病了，要去哪儿看病？很多人去医院。
到了医院，你要“挂号”。挂号是什么？是你和医院说：“我今天想看这个医生。”
在医院里挂号，有的时候要很长时间。现在，很多人在手机上挂号，到了医院就去看医生。
你见到医生，医生会问你：“你怎么了？哪里不舒服？”你可以说：“我很热，我想睡觉。”看病以后，你去买药。
有的时候是小病，你也可以不去医院，去你家边上的店里买一点儿药。
你生病的时候，会去哪儿？

English (for the teacher)
In China, when you get sick, where do you go to see a doctor? Many people go to the hospital.
At the hospital, you need to “guahao”, to register. What is guahao? It’s you telling the hospital, “This is the doctor I’d like to see today.”
Registering at the hospital can sometimes take a long time. Now many people register on their phones and go straight to the doctor when they arrive.
When you see the doctor, they will ask you, “What’s the matter? Where don’t you feel well?” You can say, “I feel hot, and I want to sleep.” After seeing the doctor, you go and buy your medicine.
Sometimes it’s a small illness, and you can skip the hospital and buy some medicine at a shop near your home.
