Hello Doctors! My name is Delia and I am a senior medical language trainer for Top Language Academy. This Podcast is for you if you need to improve your English in order to sit the OET exam for doctors. This podcast is meant to help you prepare for the role play. As you might already know, FOR THE SPEAKING TEST YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE a score of minimum 350 or more. All you need to do is to follow the role play card and ensure that all bullet points in the card have been fully addressed. At the same time, listen to the patient's concerns and answer them satisfactorily. Bear in mind that time management is an extremely important factor as the interlocutor will stop the recorder at 5 minutes. Role Play Card SETTING: SUBURBAN GENERAL PRACTICE DOCTOR: This 43 years old woman is attending the practice after being discharged from hospital. She suffered a heart attack. She complains about being tired. TASK: · Find out what is worrying the patient and be reassuring. Some fatigue is to be expected.
