跟讀練習: English for Nurses: Talking about a Broken Wrist - 通過影片學習英語口語

How is your wrist today, Mrs Wilson. It's more comfortable now that I have a plaster cast on. That's good. How did you break your wrist?

I just knocked my arm on the edge of the table. I was very surprised when I broke my wrist. Do you usually have problems with your bones? The doctor said I have osteoporosis but I don't know what it is.

Some people call osteoporosis having thinning bones. it happens when your bones lose calcium and become filled with small holes. Oh, I see. Is that why I broke my wrist?That's right. If you have osteoporosis, your bones are not strong and can break very easily. What can I do to make my bones strong again? You'll have to take a tablet to slow bone loss. OK.Is that all? You should also make some changes to your diet. What sort of changes? Try to eat food which contains lots of calcium and vitamin D. What sort of food should I eat? Dairy foods like milk, yogurt and cheese have a lot of calcium. Fatty fish and egg yolks have a lot of vitamin D. So I have to take tablets and change my diet. Is that right? That's right. You also need to do some exercise every day. I like swimming. Is that OK?

No. They must be weight-bearing exercises like walking or keep fit classes. I see.

Then I'll ask my friend to come walking with me. That's a good idea.
