Section 1.
2
You will hear a man asking for information about health services in the place where he is living.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
4
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. Can I help you?
6
Yes, I've just moved to this area with my wife and children,
7
and I'd like to know where we can all register with a doctor at a health centre.
8
Oh, okay.
9
Well, there's Dr Green at the Harvey Clinic clinic?
10
The woman says the doctor at the Harvey Clinic is called Dr Green,
11
so Green has been written in the space.
12
Now we shall begin.
13
You should answer the questions as you listen,
14
because you will not hear the recording a second time.
15
Listen carefully and answer questions one to six. Can I help you?
16
Yes.
17
I've just moved to this area with my wife and children,
18
and I'd like to know where we can all register with a doctor at a health centre.
19
Oh, okay.
20
Well, there's Dr. Green at the Harvey Clinic.
21
We always recommend her for babies because she's very good with them and she runs a special clinic.
22
Oh, actually, my youngest child is five,
23
so that wouldn't be any good for us.
24
Right.
25
Is there anywhere else I could try?
26
Yes, the Eshcol Health Practice is the next one on my list.
27
How do you spell that?
28
E-S-H-C-O-L.
29
And it's Dr Fuller who has space on his list.
30
The clinic only opened a year ago,
31
so the facilities are all very modern.
32
That sounds good.
33
And it's particularly good if you're busy during the day,
34
because they also do appointments in the evening.
35
They're closed on Saturday, though.
36
The only other place on the list is the health centre on Shore Lane.
37
You can register with Dr. Gormley.
38
That's G-O-R-M-L-E-Y.
39
He's new there, but the centre has a very good reputation.
40
Oh, yes.
41
I think I know the road.
42
That would be the best one.
43
Thanks.
44
Could you tell me, will all their services be free?
45
Uh, there are usually some small charges that doctors make.
46
Let me see what it says about the Shore Lane Centre.
47
If you need to be vaccinated before any trips abroad,
48
you won't have to pay for this.
49
ah what else the sports injury treatment service operates on a
50
paying basis as does the nutritional therapy service some health centers
51
do offer alternative therapies like homeopathy as part of their pay
52
to use service shaw lane are hoping to do this soon i think they may start with acupuncture oh
53
and finally if you need to prove you're healthy or haven't had any serious injuries before a new employer will accept you,
54
you can get a free fitness check up there.
55
But you'd most likely have to pay for insurance medicals, though.
56
OK, thanks.
57
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
58
you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
59
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.

at 7pm, and that's in Room 4.

Practice Tips

To effectively improve your English speaking skills, especially when using the shadowing technique, follow these tailored suggestions while watching the video. As you listen to the recording, try to shadow the speaker closely; replicate their speed and intonation. The conversational pace in this video is moderately fast, creating a challenge that can significantly benefit your fluency. Start by listening to a short section, then pause and repeat exactly what you hear, mimicking not just the words, but also the tone and emotion. This shadowspeak practice will help you internalize common phrases used in healthcare contexts and improve your overall pronunciation.

Furthermore, practice your shadow speaking by recording yourself while you repeat the conversation. Listening to your recordings will help you identify areas for improvement and increase your auditory discrimination skills. Remember, the goal is to learn English with YouTube while also engaging with authentic material. Replaying sections where the speaker mentions important vocabulary will also reinforce your learning, allowing you to master these terms and use them confidently in conversation.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
