Omschrijving
"Topper", "backlog", "out of syllabus", "viva", "I'm having fever since two days": education and health are two areas where Indian English has a rich vocabulary of its own. This episode decodes the language of college and exams, and the language of the doctor's clinic. What you will learn: • Marks, percentages and grades: CGPA, topper, distinction, internals, board exams • Exams and studying: syllabus, portions, out of syllabus, revision, viva, backlog or arrear, supply • College life: hostel, mess, batchmate, bunk, attendance, placement • At the clinic: describing common symptoms, plus the everyday terms "BP" and "sugar" • Treatment words: tablet, syrup, 1-0-1 on a prescription, complete the course, take rest • Hospital words: OPD, casualty, admitted, discharge, token, specialist • Practice sentences, six listening strategies and self-check questions Level: B1–B2. Self-study: listen, then take the quizzes. Audio voiced with AI from an original script by Dr. Rashmi R Nair.
