## Quiz

Remember everything you learned at the Beginner Level? Let's start with a quiz about it!

## Vocabulary

Study the days of the week and the months of the year and translate the following text.

### Feest

Vocabulary :
| het midden | middle |
| sneeuwen | to snow |
| glad | slippery, slick |
| daarom | therefore |
| 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.

    Annie: Good morning. Annie van 't Hof speaking. I'd like to make an appointment.
       assistant: Good morning, a moment, please, the computer is a little sluggish. Ah, now I see. You have been a patient of doctor Bijlsma since last year?
    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.
    Annie: Well, then I'd rather wait until doctor Bijlsma is back.
       assistant: That's fine, how about a quarter past ten in the morning?
    Annie: Fine, then I'll come the day after tomorrow.
       assistant: All right, ma'am, till then!
    Annie: Thank you very much. So long!
Two days later, she is in the doctor's office
       Doctor Bijlsma: Good morning, mrs. Van 't Hof. Tell me what it going on.
    Annie: I have had pain in my abdomen for a while. Not always, but it keeps coming back.
The doctor asks her for more details
       Doctor Bijlsma: Well, here in my office I can not really find that out. I am referring you to an internist. First go have some blood taken for testing en then the assistant will make an appointment for you.
Annie has her blood taken and goes to the assistant.
       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?
    Annie: Yes, I think so.
       assistant: The results of the blood tests will probably be ready next Monday. Why don't you drop by at four, then we will know more.
    Annie: Alright, then I'll see you Monday.
       assistant: Till Monday then!
    Annie: Thank you so much! Good bye.
       assistant: You are welcome, good bye ma'am!
