Hello Mrs. Shipley.
2
Thanks for coming into the arthritis clinic today.
3
I have your notes here, but it would be good to hear about your arthritis from you.
4
How long have you had arthritis?
5
I noticed the first signs of arthritis about 20 years ago.
6
But it's only been in the past year that the condition has been affecting me a lot.
7
Okay.
8
Which joints are most affected?
9
The joints in my left knee are more swollen than my right knee.
10
My left knee is very painful, especially when I stand up or walk.
11
Do you use a walking aid to give you some support?
12
Yes, I do.
13
I have a walking frame that I use when I go out of the house.
14
I usually use a walking cane if I'm moving around the house.
15
What about other joints in your body?
16
Well, I also have quite a few problems with my hands.
17
The knuckles in both hands are knobbly and stiff, especially in the morning.
18
It takes half an hour after I wake up to warm up my hands so I can move them.
19
How about managing your daily activities?
20
I find it hard to do things like opening jars, for example.
21
I can't twist the lids off without help.
22
And I find it hard to use cutlery now.
23
I just can't grip hold of the handles of knives and forks.
24
There are some aids that might be helpful for you.
25
An easy grip jar opener will help you twist off the lids of jars.
26
Adaptive cutlery will make it easier to grip the handles of knives and forks.
27
They sound very useful.
28
Is there anything else you are having trouble with?
29
Yes.
30
I can't get to my medication.
31
I have to rely on help to get the medication out of its bottle.
32
I'd really prefer to be more independent with this.
33
I can appreciate why you feel that way.
34
A pill organizer would help you with your medication.
35
That way you won't have to unscrew the lid of your medication bottle.
36
Thank you for those suggestions.
37
I'll try them all out.

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。
