Okay, before we start, I have a question for you.
26
A little story happened to Tom recently,
27
something very funny at the pharmacy.
28
Oh no, here we go.
29
Tom went to the pharmacy and tried to ask for his medicine,
30
but instead of saying prescription,
31
he said something completely different,
32
and the pharmacist's face was, well...
33
Unforgettable.
34
Her face was unforgettable.
35
So, your question today is,
36
what word did Tom say instead of prescription?
37
We will tell you the answer at the end of the video.
38
Leave your guess in the comments below.
39
Please don't guess correctly.
40
Please don't guess correctly.
41
Okay, let's get into today's lesson.
42
Tom, so tell me, you actually went to the doctor last week, right?
43
Yes, and honestly, it was a whole adventure.
44
It started because I had a really bad sore throat.
45
Oh no!
46
For how long?
47
Three days!
48
Three days of pain!
49
I could not even eat properly.
50
Every time I swallowed, it felt like swallowing fire.
51
Ugh, that sounds awful.
52
It was!
53
So finally, I made an appointment with my doctor.
54
I went in, and the nurse took my temperature first.
55
She said I had a fever.
56
38.5 degrees.
57
Oh wow, that is a real fever.
58
I know!
59
And then the doctor came in and examined me.
60
She looked at my throat,
61
listened to my breathing, the whole thing.
62
And what did she say?
63
She said I had a bacterial infection.
64
Not just a virus, an actual bacterial infection.
65
And she prescribed me antibiotics.
66
Okay, good.
67
That is exactly what you need for that what you need for that.
68
Yes.
69
And she also told me to rest,
70
drink a lot of water and avoid cold drinks. Of course.
71
Doctors always say that.
72
Drink more water.
73
Thank you, doctor.
74
Revolutionary advice. But it is true.
75
It really does help.
76
It does.
77
I know.
78
Anyway, after the doctor gave me the prescription,
79
I had to go to the pharmacy to get my medicine.
80
And that is where the story gets interesting.
81
Oh, yes it does, but we are not telling that part yet.
82
Right, right, we are saving it.
83
Okay, so tell me, have you ever had to go to the doctor in English,
84
maybe while you were traveling?
85
Oh, that is such a good question.
86
For our viewers, imagine you are sick in a foreign country,
87
you walk into a clinic,
88
the doctor speaks English, and you have to explain everything.
89
That is scary.
90
It is!
91
But after today, you will be ready.
92
You will know all the vocabulary you need.
93
Let's do this.
94
If you enjoyed this video,
95

96
you can send a super thanks.
97
Your support helps me keep making slow and easy English videos.
98
OK, before our vocabulary section,
99
let's do a quick grammar point.
100
Today we are looking at how to describe symptoms using I have and I feel.
101
Great choice, because when you go to the doctor,
102
the very first thing they ask is,
103
what is wrong or how are you feeling?
104
And you need to answer clearly.
105
So the two most useful patterns are...
106
Number one, I have plus a noun.
107
For example, I have a headache.
108
I have a fever.
109
I have a cough.
110
I have plus an adjective.
111
For example, I feel dizzy.
112
I feel nauseous.
113
I feel weak.
114
Now, Lily, what is the difference?
115
Great question.
116
I have is for specific problems, things you can name.
117
I have a sore throat.
118
I have an infection.
119
These are specific conditions.
120
And I feel is more about your general state,
121
how your body feels overall.
122
I feel terrible.
123
I feel exhausted.
124
I feel much better now.
125
That last one is important at the end of your appointment.
126
Doctor, I feel much better now.
127
Can I go?
128
Let's practice.
129
Repeat after us.
130
Say, I have a fever.
131
I have a fever.
132
Great.
133
I feel dizzy.
134
Your turn.
135
And one more.
136
I have a bad cough.
137
Say it with us.
138
Perfect.
139
You are already sounding like a pro.
140
Let's move to our vocabulary.
141

153
A funny story about this word.
154
The first time I went to an English-speaking doctor,
155
he said, tell me your symptoms, and I completely froze.
156
I had no idea what that word meant.

Because I forgot the word painkiller.
231
The receptionist looked so confused.

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.
