Task 5

Psychologist: Good afternoon, Mr. Smith. How can I help you?

Parent: I want to talk about my son, James. I'm afraid that he's not developing at the right pace.

Psychologist: Okay. How old is he?

Parent: He's about fourteen months old.

Psychologist: And why do you think 1) physical development is impaired?

Parent: Well, he doesn't know how to walk yet. But other children his age already do.

Psychologist: Actually, he's fairly normal. Some children don't learn to walk 2) for eighteen month.

Parent: Oh, that's quite a relief.

Psychologist: Your son probably 3) caused by now, right?

Parent: Yes. He started crawling about three months ago.

Psychologist: In that case, don't worry. Your child is developing 4) motor skills just fine.

Parent: That's great. Just to be sure, though, 5) When should I start to worry?

Psychologist: Give it another four months or so. If he's 6) still not walking, bring him in.

Parent: What could that indicate?

Psychologist: Any number of factors could cause a developmental delay. But please don't worry. I'm sure he's just fine.

Parent: All right. Thanks for the information.
