Larry The Loser

Welcome back to OET Roleplay Practice with Kevin, The English Native – your go-to podcast for OET Speaking test preparation and practical English for healthcare professionals.

In this episode, we dive into a realistic OET Medicine roleplay:
👉 A doctor–parent consultation after a child’s recent asthma diagnosis.

You’ll learn how to:

Build rapport and empathy with the parent.

Ask clear, structured clinical history questions.

Explain asthma triggers, inhaler use, and lifestyle adjustments.

Give practical management advice in simple, patient-friendly English.

🩺 Why This Roleplay Matters

In the OET Speaking sub-test, you’ll often face scenarios where you must explain conditions, reassure patients, and give health advice. This asthma management consultation is a common exam theme – so practising it can boost your confidence and fluency.

This roleplay focuses on:

Exploring concerns (“How are you feeling about the diagnosis?”)

Explaining clearly (“Asthma is a long-term condition where…”)

Checking understanding (“Does that make sense so far?”)

Collaborating on a plan (“Would you like me to go over some tips for reducing triggers?”)

🧑‍⚕️ Practise Along

Here’s how to get the most from this episode:

Listen once without the transcript – test your comprehension.

Read along – notice useful phrases and patient-centred language.

Shadow the doctor’s lines – improve your intonation, fluency, and empathy.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【追星】的话题。
这个星期网上的热门话题是王心凌。她是一名歌手。十多年前她非常火，因为她的长相甜美，而且歌曲和舞蹈很少女，收获了不少粉丝，特别是男粉丝。上个星期五她参加的一档综艺节目《乘风破浪的姐姐》开播了。今年39岁的她穿着当年的少女裙子，唱着那首经典的歌曲《爱你》。熟悉的歌词和舞蹈一下子勾起了很多人的青春回忆。于是，她又火了，上了热搜。
网上出现很多这样的视频：她的男粉丝听到她的歌声都忍不住跟着一起唱起来，跳起来。更夸张的是，很多人为了支持他们的偶像王心凌，开始买芒果超媒的股票。芒果超媒就是制作这个节目的公司。还有公司发布公告,要求公司员工为王心凌投票，因为老板是王心凌的忠实粉丝。在你们的国家有这样的疯狂追星的现象吗？留言告诉我吧。
最后我们来听一听这首非常火的歌曲《爱你》
如果你突然打了个喷嚏 那一定就是我在想你
如果半夜被手机吵醒 啊 那是因为我关心
常常想你说的话 是不是别有用心
明明很想相信 却又忍不住怀疑 在你的心里 
我是否就是唯一 爱就是有我常烦着你
ho baby 情话多说一点 想我就多看一眼
表现多一点点 让我能真的看见oh bye 少说一点
想陪你不只一天 多一点让我心甘情愿 爱你
