I'm Judy.
3
Hello, Judy.
4
Hello, everyone.
5
I'm Jake.
6
How are you today, Judy?
7
I am good today, thank you.
8
But yesterday I was not so good.
9
I had a headache, a very bad headache.
10
Oh no, a headache?
11
Are you okay now?
12
Yes, I'm fine now.
13
I took some medicine and I rested, but I almost went to the doctor.
14
The doctor?
15
That is interesting, because I have a problem with doctors.
16
A problem?
17
What do you mean?
18
When I feel sick, I don't know what to say in English.
19
I don't know the right words.
20
At the doctor, I just point at my body and say, here, pain.
21
Here, pain.
22
That works, but today I will teach you much better words.
23
Better words for the doctor?
24
Yes, please.
25
Today we are going to the doctor, in English, from making a plan to see the doctor, all the way to getting your medicine.
26
From making a plan to getting my medicine, let's go.
27
But first, we have a small request.

And share this episode with your friends and family.
31
Thank you, it helps us so much.
32
We love our listeners.
33
Okay, now let's start.
34
So Jake, picture this.
35
You wake up one morning.
36
Your throat hurts.
37
Your head hurts.
38
You feel terrible.
39
What do you do first?
40
Um, I call the doctor.
41
Yes, you call the doctor.
42
And when you call, you make an appointment.
43
A -P -P -O -I -N -T -M -E -N -T.
44
Appointment.
45
Appointment.
46
What does appointment mean?
47
An appointment is a time you plan to see the doctor.
48
You call the doctor's office and they give you a day and a time.
49
Like, your appointment is at 3 o 'clock on Tuesday.
50
So, an appointment is like a meeting with the doctor.
51
doctor, you choose a time and you go at that time.
52
I make an appointment, then I go, what do I say when I call?
53
You can say, "Hello, I would like to make an appointment please." Hello, I would like to make an appointment please.
54
That is clear and simple.
55
And the person on the phone will say, "When would you like to come in?" and you tell them what day or time is good for you.
56
When would you like to come in?
57
"Today please, I feel terrible." Yes, if you feel very bad, you can say, "Is there anything available today?" That means,
58
"Do you have a time for me today?" "Is there anything available today?" I will remember that sentence.
59
And sometimes the doctor is busy.
60
They might say, "The first available appointment is tomorrow at 10 :00 a .m." Tomorrow?
61
But I am sick now.
62
I know, but you can also go to Urgent Care.
63
Urgent Care is a place for people who need a doctor right away, no appointment needed.
64
Urgent care for when I cannot wait.
65
Good to know.
66
And when you arrive at the doctor's office, you go to the front desk and you say, I have an appointment at 3 o 'clock.
67
My name is Jake.
68
I have an appointment at 3 o 'clock.
69
My name is Jake.
70
Then I sit and wait?
71
Yes.
72
You sit in the waiting room and you wait until the doctor calls your name.
73
The waiting room.
74
I am very good at waiting.
75
I do it every day on the bus.
76
You walk in, the doctor says, "Hello, how are you feeling today?" and then they ask, "What are your symptoms?" Symptoms?
77
What is a symptom?
78
A symptom is what you feel when you are sick.
79
It's how your body tells you something is wrong.
80
S -Y -M -P -T -O -M.
81
Symptom.
82
So a symptom is like a sign from my body?
83
Feeling very tired is a symptom.
84
These are all symptoms.
85
So when the doctor asks, "What are your symptoms?" I tell them what I feel?
86
Exactly.
87
You describe what is wrong.
88
My head hurts.
89
I have a cough.
90
I feel very tired.
91
These are all ways to describe your symptoms.
92
My head hurts.
93
I have a cough.
94
I feel very tired.
95
These are all symptoms.
96
Yes, and you can also put them together in one sentence.
97
My symptoms are a headache and a cough.
98
My symptoms are a headache and a cough.
99
That is a very clear sentence.
100
to know your symptoms so they can help you.
101
The more you can describe, the better.
102
But sometimes I feel sick and I don't know the English word for it.
103
That's okay.
104
Just describe what you feel.
105
You don't need the perfect word.
106
My stomach feels bad.
107
My body is hot.
108
I feel cold and tired.
109
Descriptions work very well.
110
Just describe what I feel.
111
That makes me feel less nervous.
112
Good.
113
Because the doctor is there to help you, not to test your English.
114
Not to test my English.
115
I like that.
116
Now, let me teach you a very common symptom.
117
Fever.
118
F -E -V -E -R.
119
Fever.
120
Fever.
121
What does fever mean?
122
A fever is when your body temperature is higher than normal.
123
Your body feels very hot.
124
Sometimes you also feel cold at the same time.
125
That is a fever.
126
So a fever means my body is too hot.
127
Yes.
128
When you are healthy, your body temperature is about 37 degrees.
129
When you have a fever, it goes up 38, 39, sometimes even 40.
130
40 degrees.
131
That is very high and very scary.
132
It is.
133
If your fever is very high, you should see a doctor right away.
134
How do I know if I have a fever?
135
measures your body temperature.
136
You put it in your mouth or under your arm.
137
And if the number is above 37?
138
Usually above 38 means you have a fever.
139
A small fever is normal when you are sick, but a high fever, call the doctor.
140
What do I say to the doctor about my fever?
141
You can say, I have a fever, or my temperature is 38 .5.
142
Very simple.
143
I have a fever, my temperature is 38 .5. and clear.
144
And the doctor might ask, "When did the fever start?" and you say,
145
"It started yesterday," or, "It started two days ago." When did the fever start?
146
It started yesterday.
147
I can say that.
148
See?
149
You're getting very good at this.
150
Now, another very useful word.
151
Sore.
152
S -O -R -E.
153
Sore.
154
Sore.
155
What does sore mean?
156
Sore means painful, hurting.
157
When something is sore, it hurts.
158
So sore means pain.
159
Yes, but we use sore in a special way.
160
We put it before the body part.
161
That means my throat hurts.
162
Exactly.
163
When you swallow food or water and it hurts, that is a sore throat.
164
Very common when you have a cold.
165
I have a sore throat.
166
My throat is sore.
167
Can I say it both ways?
168
Yes, both are correct.
169
I have a sore throat or my throat is sore.
170
Same meaning.
171
What about other body parts?
172
You can say, I have a sore back.
173
That means your back hurts.
174
Or my legs are sore, maybe after exercise.
175
My legs are sore after I run.
176
I run for five minutes and my legs are sore for three days.
177
Five minutes of running, three days of sore legs.
178
Very honest and very real.
179
Very honest and very real.
180
And at the doctor, you can point at the place and say, it is sore here.
181
clear.
182
It is sore here.
183
Even if I don't know the English word for the body part, I can point and say sore here.
184
Exactly.
185
And here are the most useful ones.
186
Sore throat, sore stomach, sore back, sore head.
187
These are the ones you will use most often.
188
Sore throat, sore stomach, sore back, sore head.
189
One word before the body part.
190
Easy.
191
You got it.
192
Sore is a very useful word at the doctor's office.
193
A superstar word.
194
The doctor knows what is wrong.
195
What happens next?
196
Um, the doctor gives me medicine?
197
Almost.
198
First, the doctor writes something for you.
199
A prescription.
200
P -R -E -S -C -R -I -P -T -I -O -N.
201
Prescription.
202
Prescription.
203
That is a long word.
204
What does it mean?
205
A prescription is a paper from the doctor, or sometimes it is on the computer.
206
It tells the medicine store what medicine to give you.
207
The doctor writes it.
208
You tell it take it to the store, and the store gives you the right medicine.
209
So a prescription is like a note from the doctor.
210
Yes, a note that says what medicine you need and how much to take.
211
What does the doctor say when they give me a prescription?
212
The doctor might say, I'm going to write you a prescription, or here's a prescription for some medicine.
213
I'm going to write you a prescription.
214
That means the doctor is helping me get better.
215
Yes, and the prescription will say things like, times a day or take one pill in the morning
216
and one at night two times a day one in the morning one at night
217
and the doctor will tell you how many days take this for five days
218
or take this for seven days and what
219
if I feel better after three days can I stop no very important finish all the medicine even
220
if you feel better after three days the medicine needs time to work If you stop too early,
221
you might get sick again.
222
I don't want that.
223
I will finish everything.
224
Good.
225
Now you have your prescription in your hand.
226
Where do you go next?
227
To the medicine store?
228
Close.
229
We call it a pharmacy.
230
P -H -A -R -M -A -C -Y.
231
Pharmacy.
232
Pharmacy?
233
The place where I buy medicine?
234
Yes.
235
A pharmacy is a store that sells medicine.
236
Some pharmacies are inside supermarkets or big
237
street you take your prescription to the pharmacy
238
and they give you your medicine i take my prescription to the pharmacy they read the doctor's note
239
and they give me my medicine exactly
240
and the person who works at the pharmacy is called a

242
questions what kind of questions like how do i take this medicine or can i take this
243
I don't want to fall asleep at work.
244
No, you don't want that.
245
And the pharmacist will tell you, "Some medicines make you sleepy.
246
Some don't.
247
Always ask." I will ask, "Will this make me sleepy?" Very important question.
248
And at the pharmacy, you can also buy some things without a prescription, like cough drops or vitamins.
249
You just take them and pay.
250
Some things, no prescription.
251
Stronger medicines, I need a prescription.
252

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
通过观看《如何用英语与医生交流》这个视频，你可以在真实的对话场景中练习英语。医疗场景对于许多学习者来说是一个重要且必要的交流领域。理解生病时需要使用的词汇和表达方式，不仅能让你在就医时感到自信，还能帮助你与医生建立更好的沟通。通过模仿视频中的对话，你可以有效提升自己的英语口语能力，享受看YouTube学英语的乐趣，轻松学习所需的医疗词汇。
语法与表达的语境
在这个视频中，讲者使用了几个关键的语法结构和表达方式，帮助学习者更好地理解如何在医疗环境中进行交流：
- 询问健康状况：“你现在好点了吗？”（Are you okay now?）通过这个问题，学习者可以学习到如何关心他人的健康，并进行基本的互动。
- 预约的表达：“我打电话预约。”（I call the doctor.）有效表达预约的重要性以及与医生沟通的基本语句。
- 描述症状：“我头疼。”（I had a headache.）这是一个非常直接的表述方式，学习如何准确描述自己的病症对于就医来说至关重要。
常见发音陷阱
在这个视频中，有几个单词和短语在发音上可能会给学习者带来挑战：
- Appointment（预约）：这个词的发音可能让初学者感到困扰。它的正确发音是/əˈpɔɪntmənt/，注意其重音在第二个音节。
- Medicine（药物）：很多学习者可能会把它发音为/ˈmɛdɪsɪn/而忽略了中间的音节，有效发音能帮助建立更明确的交流。
- Sick（生病的）：此单词的发音相对简单，但学习者在语速较快的情况下可能会发错，建议多多练习以熟悉其音调。
你可以通过使用shadowspeaks的资源，在进行shadow speak练习时，进一步加强对这些词汇的掌握和发音的准确性。从而在如医疗这样的场合中自信地交流，达到更高的英语水平！
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。
