my name is alicia and in this lesson

we're going to talk about

20 useful phrases you can use when

talking to your doctor

let's get started before we start a

you can find a bunch of different topics

you can use these to build your

vocabulary you can use them

to find daily conversation expressions

and a lot more so have a look check the

link below the video

okay let's get to the lesson i have an

appointment today

i have an appointment today when you

arrive at the doctor's office you can go

to the reception desk or the person

working there who's receiving

people and you can say i have an

appointment today

this means they should be expecting you

you can expect to give your name and

maybe some other personal information

after you say this okay let's go to the

next expression

how are you feeling today how are you

feeling today

this is a key question that your doctor

will ask you

it's a question about your condition

they'll say how are you feeling today or

they might ask something like

what seems to be the problem or asking

something else about your specific

symptoms

so when your doctor says how are you

feeling today you can explain you're

feeling good or not so good

depending on what kind of checkup you're

doing you can express that something is

painful

or something doesn't feel quite right

there are many different ways

to respond to this question so that's up

to you okay

on to the next phrase not very well

not very well so not very well is a very

general way to respond to the question

how are you feeling today

when you say not very well you should

expect to provide

more detail so why don't you feel very

well

so this means that you just don't have a

very good feeling about your body about

your condition

okay on to the next expression i think i

sprained my left ankle

i think i sprained my left ankle okay

so this is an example of a more specific

way of explaining your condition so in

this case

a sprain is a type of sports injury and

we tend to see it around the ankles or

maybe around the wrists too

so if you think that you know what type

of injury you're experiencing you can

express that with something like this

i think i sprained my ankle in this case

okay

let's go to another way to express your

feeling

i feel a sharp pain in my right knee

i feel a sharp pain in my right knee

okay so this is another way that you can

describe something that you're

experiencing

if you're not sure about the type of

injury for example but you want to

express you are feeling pain you can do

it with something like this

sharp pain is a knife-like pain so you

can use i feel a sharp pain

in my plus the body part in this case

your right knee

of course you can change that to any

other body part to express that you're

feeling

sharp knife-like pain in that place okay

let's go to another example my knee is

aching

my knee is aching okay so

here we have a knee as our example place

again but in this case we're using

ache so aching refers to a kind of dull

low pain generally that doesn't go away

so when you say that something aches

it's different from

a sharp pain which we saw in the

previous example

because a sharp pain is like a very

strong knife like pain

an ache is something that's kind of

constant and low

so you can say my body part is aching to

mean that that's the feeling that it has

now okay let's go to the next expression

my throat hurts a little my throat hurts

a little

okay so most people have experienced a

sore

throat so you can say i have a sore

throat

or another way to say that is my throat

hurts

a little of course you can change throat

to any other body part

my finger hurts a little or my stomach

hurts a little

to express that there's a little pain or

a little discomfort in that body part

okay on to the next one i have a

terrible stomach ache

i have a terrible stomachache okay

so if you have pain in your stomach so

you feel

sick to your stomach you can express

that with stomach ache so we talked

about the word

ache earlier that kind of low constant

pain

we have that in our stomach sometimes

when we eat something that we disagree

with

or when we have some kind of bacteria in

our stomachs so if you have a really

really bad one if it's very very

uncomfortable

you can express that with a terrible

stomach ache i have a terrible

stomachache

okay next expression

i've lost my appetite i've lost my

appetite

okay this expression means you no longer

want to eat food

your appetite is how hungry you feel

when you see food

so usually we want to eat a few times a

day

right but if you lose your appetite it

means you're no longer interested in

food

so if you have this experience you can

tell your doctor this you can say

i've lost my appetite okay next

expression i have a rash on my arm

i have a rash on my arm

okay so a rash is a part of your skin

that turns red or maybe even another

color

and that's sometimes itchy or maybe kind

of painful

so if you have one of these spots on

your skin you can express that with

i have a rash on mine plus the body part

so i have a rash on my arm

i have a rash on my neck and so on okay

next expression do you have a cough

do you have a cough this is a question

that will come

from the doctor so if they want to check

your symptoms they might ask

do you have a cough or do you have some

other symptom

a cough refers to an uncomfortable

feeling where you want to push the air

out of your lungs and this sound

is called a cough so your doctor might

ask you do you have a cough

to check your symptoms okay next

expression

i get tired very quickly

i get tired very quickly

okay so this expression refers to

fatigue or a feeling of having no energy

if your doctor asks about your symptoms

and you want to express that recently

you don't have much energy

you can say i feel tired very quickly

this helps the doctor understand that

there's been a recent

change in your energy levels okay next

expression

does it hurt when i press here

does it hurt when i press here this is

another question that will come from the

doctor

during a physical examination the doctor

may touch parts of your body

and the doctor might ask you does it

hurt when i press here which means do

you feel

pain when i press this spot on your body

so just answer yes or no to respond

okay next expression take this medicine

and rest take this medicine

and rest this is an instruction from the

doctor

after your examination your doctor might

tell you to take some medicine

so they might also tell you to get some

rest in this case it's both take some

medicine and rest

it means take the medicine the doctor is

giving you and

rest your body okay next expression

you might need surgery you might need

surgery

okay so this is something that will come

from the doctor

after your physical examination if your

injury or your sickness

cannot be treated just by using medicine

you might have to have an operation

or surgery so there are very simple

surgeries and there are more complex

surgeries

so it depends on your condition but if

the doctor thinks you may need something

like this

they'll tell you with an expression like

you might need surgery

okay next expression i need a medical

certificate

i need a medical certificate if you need

a document that describes your health

condition or your medical history

you can ask for one with this expression

i need a medical certificate

you might not have to ask your doctor

specifically for this

in many cases you can simply ask the

reception desk for this information

okay next expression i'd like to get a

second opinion

i'd like to get a second opinion okay

this expression means i'd like to get a

second

doctor's opinion so after your physical

examination if you're not sure about

this doctor's conclusion

you might want to talk to another doctor

and get their opinion about your

condition

you can express that with i'd like to

get a second opinion

okay next expression that's a relief

that's a relief okay that's a relief is

an expression that you can use when you

feel relieved about the doctor's

conclusion

if you thought you might have a serious

illness but the doctor says you just

have a cold and it's no problem

you can express that feeling of relief

with this expression

ah that's a relief it's just a cold okay

next expression

please come back next week for a checkup

please come back next week for a checkup

this is an instruction you may receive

from your doctor

so after your first examination maybe

you receive some medicine or you have

some other kinds of care or treatment

guidelines

your doctor wants to check your

condition again in a week they will say

something like this

please come back next week for a checkup

okay

next expression thank you i will confirm

the date of my visit

thank you i will confirm the date of my

visit

all right this is an expression that you

would typically use if you are making a

schedule for upcoming treatment or an

upcoming doctor's appointment

you might say this on the phone or in

person to someone if you need to check

your schedule before

you confirm something thanks i need to

confirm the date of my visit

all right that brings us to the end of

我已经食欲不振了

我的手臂上有皮疹 我的手臂上

有皮疹

好的,所以皮疹是你皮肤的一部分,

它会变红,甚至可能变成另一种

颜色

所以如果你有这些斑点中的一个 在

你的皮肤上,你可以用

我的身体和身体部位有皮疹来表达,

所以我的手臂上

有皮疹 我的脖子上有皮疹等等
