 MANAGER: Hello, City Hospital, complaints manager. How can I help you?
KEN:           It's Ken Jensen here. I want to make a complaint about one of the staff in the emergency room.
MANAGER: OK, Mr. Jensen, tell me what happened, please
KEN:           I went to the hospital because I had a serious stomach infection, you see.
MANAGER: Go on...
KEN:           So I told one of the doctors I was in severe pain, and all he did was tell me to take a seat and wait for my turn.
MANAGER: Oh...
KEN:           On one hand that was rude, and on the other it was negligent, too!
MANAGER: I agree. That's not good.
KEN:           Furthermore, I had to wait for almost three hours before I was attended to!
MANAGER: Do you know the doctor's name?
KEN:           It's Thompson. I think he's totally incompetent. I mean doctors should listen to their patients, righ?
MANAGER: Of course, and I'm very sorry about this, Mr.Jensen. We'll look into your complaint, and if we need any more information, we'll get back in touch.
KEN:           Whatever. That's the last time I'll ever be coming to your hospital.
MANAGER: That's undestandable, sir, but I can assure you not all our staff are like that.
KEN:           OK, then. Thank you for your listening, al least. Good-bye.
MANAGER: Good-bye, Mr. Jensen

MANAGER: Oh, that's not good at all. I do apologize

FATHER: Dave, what's up?
BOY: Well, I twisted my ankle playing football.
FATHER: Oh, no! Are you OK?
BOY: Yeah, yeah. I'm fine now. The gym teacher took me to the clinic downtown. The problem is that the doctor hasn't told me when I can go home. He's been very rude to me. Whenever I ask him if I can go, he says he will only talk to you and walks away. The nurse let me call you. Can you come and get me?
FATHER: Of course I can, and I will also speak to the hospital manager. Wait right there.

COGNATES AND FALSE COGNATES

COGNATES

Cognates are words in two languages that share a similar meaning, spelling, and pronunciation.

FALSE COGNATES

However, there are many Spanish words that sound like English words that do not have the same meaning. These are called false cognates, or false friends.
