Hey everybody, welcome to this B1 English listening practice video.

You can use this video to practice your listening and comprehension as I speak.
3
You ready?
4
So today, I'm going to talk about doctor's appointments.
5
This is not one of my favorite topics because honestly,
6
I hate going to the doctor.
7
I'm sure some of you can sympathize with me on this one.
8
Every time I have to go to the doctor,
9
I get nervous, anxious, and I just can't wait until everything's over.
10
But that said, let's talk a little bit about the process of going to the doctor in the US.
11
So first of all, it's important to talk about health insurance.
12
In the US, most people have health insurance because without it,
13
the cost of getting medical treatment can be astronomical.
14
But there's still a problem here because the insurance itself also costs a lot of money.
15
If you're single and you're just insuring yourself,
16
the average cost per month is well over $300.
17
However, if you're insuring your whole family,
18
the average cost is over $800 per month.
19
And even though you pay this huge amount of money for your monthly premium,
20
you still have to pay more money when you actually go to the doctor's office.
21
It's crazy, I know.
22
You might be thinking, why do people pay this much money?
23
Why don't they just not get health insurance?
24
Well if you don't go to the doctor much and you don't need any major operations,
25
that would be fine.
26
But if something major happens to you or you get in an accident,
27
you're going to pay thousands and thousands of dollars to get treatment if you don't have insurance.
28
So really, in my opinion,
29
the main point of having insurance in the US is to make sure you're covered for any major unexpected events.
30
So now let's talk about the doctor's office.
31
When you go to a new doctor for the first time,
32
the receptionist usually makes you fill out a long form with all your past medical history.
33
If you're a returning patient though,
34
you don't need to do this.
35
So before you see the doctor,
36
you've got to go with the nurse to measure your height,
37
weight, and blood pressure.
38
Since I get nervous at the doctor's office,
39
my blood pressure reading is usually high when they take it,
40
so it always appears to them that I have high blood pressure.
41
After they take your measurements and everything,
42
they leave you in the room alone and you have to wait for the doctor to come.
43
Then you usually get about a 15 minute consultation with the doctor and hopefully it's productive.
44
But of course I've had many appointments in my life that I felt were unproductive or rushed.
45
It really depends on where you go and which doctor you get.
46
So lastly, the doctor writes you a prescription if you need one and you pick up your medication at the pharmacy.
47
Also, if you need to see a specialist,
48
the doctor refers you to one,
49
and then you set up that appointment when you can.
50
Aside from all this, we also have private practice doctors that have their own offices outside of this general system.
51
They're usually much more flexible and can offer better care,
52
but their resources are more limited.
53
Okay that's all for today.
54
Leave a comment and tell me how much a doctor's appointment costs in your country.
55
I'll see you next time.
56
Thank you.

练习技巧
在进行本课的听力练习时，建议您使用shadow speech技巧。可以尝试在视频播放的同时，跟读讲者的话语。这种方法被称为shadowspeak，它能有效帮助您提高英语发音和语调的准确性。注意讲者的语速和语气，您可以尝试稍微放慢视频的速度，方便自己更好地跟上。同时，可以在每次重播后检查自己的发音，努力模仿讲者的声音语调和节奏，从而达到提高流利度的效果。
通过不断练习这个过程，您会发现您的听力和口语能力都在逐渐提高。记得保持耐心，学习英语的过程需要时间和练习，所以持续地进行shadow speak训练，将助您取得显著进步！
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
