Nurses often measure height, weight, temperature, and blood pressure.
43
Useful phrases include, please step on the scale.
44
I'll check your temperature.
45
Could you roll up your sleeve?
46
Or, breathe in and breathe out.

Let's role play again.

Please follow me to the examination room.

Okay.

Could you please step on the scale?

Now let me check your temperature.

Useful questions include, what brings you in today?

How long have you had this problem?

Do you have any allergies?

Make a fist, please.

Or hold still.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
