Giving Directions

 
Bob: Excuse me, I'm afraid I can't find a bank. Do you know where one is?
Frank: Well, there are a few banks near here. Do you have a particular bank in mind?
Bob: I'm afraid I don't. I just need to withdraw some money from either a teller, or an ATM.
Frank: OK, that's easy.
Bob: I'm going by car.
Frank: Well, in that case, go straight ahead on this street until the third traffic light. Take a left there, and continue on until you come to a stop sign.
Bob: Do you know what the name of the street is?
Frank: Yes, I think it's Jennings Lane. Now, when you come to the stop sign, take the street on the left. You'll be on 8th Avenue.
Bob: OK, I go straight ahead on this street to the third traffic light. That's Jennings lane.
Frank: Yes, that's right.
Bob: Then I continue on to the stop sign and take a right on 8th Avenue.
Frank: No, take a left at the stop sign onto 8th Avenue.
Bob: Oh, thanks. What's next?
Frank: Well, continue on 8th Avenue for about 100 yards, past a supermarket until you come to another traffic light. Take a left and continue on for another 200 yards. You'll see the bank on the right.
Bob: Let me repeat that: I go about 100 yards, past a supermarket to the traffic light. I take a left and continue for another 200 yards. The bank is on the right.
Frank: Yes, that's it!
Bob: OK. Can I repeat this to see if I've understood everything?
Frank: Certainly.
Bob: Go straight ahead until the third traffic light. Take a left, and continue on to the stop sign. Turn left onto 8th Avenue.
Frank: Yes, that's right.
Bob: Go past the supermarket, to another traffic light, take the first left and I'll see the bank on the left.
Frank: Almost, you'll see the bank on the right, after 200 yards or so.
Bob: Well, thank you very much for taking the time to explain this to me!

Illnesses and diseases

"If the food is bad, the medicine does not work. If the food is good, the medicine is not necessary" Paracelsus (Swiss physician)

What's the difference between illness and disease?

Disease is used to talk about more severe physical medical problems, especially those that affect the organs. Illness is used to talk about more severe and more minor medical problems, and those that affect mental health.:
Heart/kidney/liver  illness


Mental disease


Disease is not used about a period of illness:
She died after a long disease.
Also, a summary of what Wikipedia says on the difference:
Illness, although often used to mean disease, can also refer to a person’s perception of their health, regardless of whether they in fact have a disease. A person without any disease may feel unhealthy and simply have the perception of having a disease. Another person may feel healthy with similar perceptions of perfectly good health.
Disease can be thought of as the presence of pathology, which can occur with or without subjective feelings of being unwell or social recognition of that state. Illness as the subjective state of “unwellness” can occur independently of, or in conjunction with, disease or sickness.
