At the Pharmacy
Describing symptoms, picking up medicine, asking how to take it.
One situation, many conversations
In real life “At the Pharmacy” isn’t one conversation. It’s the time it went smoothly, the time something went wrong, the time you had to ask one more question. Each one uses different words, so each one is practised on its own.
