OET Speaking Practice for Nurses: Emergency Asthma Management Roleplay

Une mauvaise réputation
Le Saint-Bernard se promène dans la montagne, le cœur bien lourd. On dit de lui qu’il est un peu ivrogne. Or, il déteste l’alcool ! Soudain, sa truffe se met à remuer : là-dessous, dans la neige, est enterré vivant un petit animal.
Vite, il se met à la besogne, gratte et découvre... un renardeau. Il le prend délicatement dans sa gueule, le réchauffe et finit par retrouver les parents affolés.
- Oh, dit le père, vous avez sauvé mon fils, comment vous remercier ?
Le bon chien veut se retirer, mais voilà que le renardeau lui donne une grosse bise sur le bout du museau !

Intentional living is a way of living your life. It forces you to get to know yourself and identify what it is that is important to you. You decide how you want to live and what you want to cut out of your life. It forces you to prioritise what you want and live each day in alignment with these priorities. In today’s world we are stressed, overstressed, and anxious all the time and it’s no surprise that intentional living is becoming increasingly popular. But what does it mean to live intentionally?

Hello, and welcome to the Beyond the Textbook Korean podcast! 🌟
In today’s episode, we explore so-called “sleeping expressions” that appear in textbooks but sound awkward in real-life conversations.

For example, phrases like “Bikisehyo (비키세요)” and “Cheonmaneyo (천만에요)” are grammatically correct but often avoided in daily speech. Why?
Because of Korea’s cultural preference for indirect speech and humility.

📌 Bikisehyo → Jamkkanmanyo / Excuse me

📌 Cheonmaneyo → Aniehyo / It’s okay / No problem

Still, there are exceptions. In emergencies or professional contexts, direct expressions like “Bikisehyo” may be necessary for clarity and safety.

👉 Remember: Language is not just grammar—it’s culture.
By practicing expressions that reflect the Korean mindset, you’ll sound more natural and take your Korean to the next level.

See you in the next episode! Hwaiting! You got this! 💪

Reading Korea.

So this is a good lesson to learn vocabulary and practice describing things. This podcast is produced and written by me and read by my AI voiceovers.
