Section 1.

You will hear a woman talking to a doctor at a clinic about a medical problem.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
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.
6
Hi, come and take a seat.
7
Thank you.
8
My name is Carl Rogers and I'm one of the doctors here at the Total Health Clinic.
9
So I understand this is your first visit to the clinic.
10
Yes, it is.
11
OK.
12
Well, I hope you'll be very happy with the service you receive here.
13
So if it's alright with you, I'll take a few details to help me give you the best possible service.
14
Sure.
15
So, can I check first of all that we have the correct personal details for you?
16
So your full name is Julie Ann Garcia?
17
That's correct.
18
The woman's name is Julie Ann Garcia.
19
So Garcia has been written in the space.
20
Now we shall begin.
21
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
22
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
23
Hi, come and take a seat.
24
Thank you.
25
My name's Carl Rogers and I'm one of the doctors here at the Total Health Clinic, so I understand this is your first visit to the clinic?
26
Yes, it is.
27
Okay, well I hope you'll be very happy with the service you receive here, so if it's alright with you, I'll take a few details to help me give you the best possible service?
28
Sure.
29
So, can I check first of all that we have the correct personal details for you?
30
So, your full name is Julie Ann Garcia?
31
That's correct.
32
Perfect.
33
And can I have a contact phone number?
34
It's 219-442-9785.
35
Okay.
36
And then can I just check that we have the correct date of birth?
37
October 10th, 1992.
38
Oh, I actually have 1991.
39
I'll just correct that now.
40
Right, so that's all good.
41
Now, I just need a few more personal details.
42
Do you have an occupation, either full-time or part-time?
43
Yes, I work full-time in Estherhazy's, you know, the restaurant chain.
44
I started off as a waitress there a few years ago, and I'm a manager now.
45
Oh, I know them.
46
Yeah, they're down on 114th Street, aren't they?
47
That's right.
48
Yeah, I've been there a few times.
49
I just love their salads.
50
That's good to hear.
51
Right, so one more thing I need to know before we talk about why you're here, Julie, and that's the name of your insurance company.
52
It's Cauley Life Insurance.
53
That's C-A-W-L-E-Y.
54
Excellent.
55
Thank you so much.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
57
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
58
Now, Julie, let's look at how we can help you.
59
So tell me a little about what brought you here today.
60
Well, I've been getting a pain in my knee, the left one.
61
Not very serious at first, but it's gotten worse, so I thought I ought to see someone about it.
62
That's certainly the right decision.
63
So how long have you been aware of this pain?
64
Is it just a few days or is it longer than that?
65
Longer.
66
It's been worse for the last couple of days but it's three weeks since I first noticed it.
67
It came on quite gradually though so I kind of ignored it at first.
68
And have you taken any medication yourself or treated it in any way?
69
Yeah, I've been taking medication to deal with the pain, Tylenol, and that works okay for a few hours, but I don't like to keep taking it.
70
Okay, and what about heat treatment?
71
Have you tried applying heat at all?
72
No, but I have been using ice on it for the last few days.
73
And does that seem to help the pain at all?
74
A little, yes.
75
Good.
76
Now, you look as if you're quite fit normally.
77
I am, yes.
78
So do you do any sport on a regular basis?
79
Yes, I play a lot of tennis.
80
I belong to a club, so I go there a lot.
81
I'm quite competitive, so I enjoy that side of it as well as the exercise, but I haven't gone since this started.
82
Sure.
83
And do you do any other types of exercise?
84
Yeah, I sometimes do a little swimming, but usually just when I'm on vacation.
85
But normally I go running a few times a week.
86
maybe three or four times.
87
So your legs are getting quite a pounding, but you haven't had any problems up to now?
88
No, not with my legs.
89
I did have an accident last year when I slipped and hurt my shoulder, but that's better now.
90
Excellent.
91
And do you have any allergies?
92
No, none that I'm aware of.
93
And do you take any medication on a regular basis?
94
Well, I take vitamins, but that's all.
95
I'm generally very healthy.
96
Okay.
97
Well, let's have a closer look and see what might be causing this problem.
98
If you can just get up.
99
That is the end of section one.
100
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
101
Now turn to section 2.

Sobre esta aula

Nesta aula, você vai praticar compreensão auditiva e fala em inglês por meio de um diálogo realista entre uma paciente e um médico em uma clínica. O objetivo é treinar a escuta de detalhes pessoais, como números de telefone, datas de nascimento e profissões, além de se familiarizar com a linguagem cotidiana usada em consultas médicas. Além disso, é uma oportunidade perfeita para praticar o shadow speech, uma técnica eficaz para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e a fluência.

Vocabulário e frases-chave

  • Clinic: Clínica (no diálogo, "Total Health Clinic" é a clínica onde ocorre a consulta).
  • Contact phone number: Número de telefone para contato (a paciente fornece "219-442-9785").
  • Date of birth: Data de nascimento (a paciente informa "October 10th, 1992").
  • Occupation: Profissão (a paciente trabalha como "manager" – gerente – em uma rede de restaurantes).
  • Restaurant chain: Rede de restaurantes (ela menciona "Estherhazy's", uma rede de restaurantes).

Dicas de prática

Para aproveitar ao máximo o shadowing em inglês com este vídeo, siga estas dicas: Primeiro, ouça o diálogo uma vez para entender o contexto geral. Depois, reproduza pequenos trechos (3-5 segundos) e repita imediatamente, tentando imitar a velocidade, o tom e a entonação do falante. A conversa tem um ritmo natural, não muito rápido, o que é ideal para iniciantes. Preste atenção à pronúncia de números (como o telefone e a data) e a palavras com acento, como "manager". Pratique diariamente por 10-15 minutos – essa é uma forma eficaz de melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e a fluência. Além disso, use o diálogo para treinar a prática de conversação em inglês: imagine que você é a paciente e responda às perguntas do médico, usando as mesmas frases ou adaptando-as. Isso ajudará a internalizar a linguagem usada em situações reais.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
