こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、今の大阪について。
今、僕は実は大阪にいます。

昨日飛行機で大阪に来ました。
北海道の空港もそうでしたが、特に大阪の空港は、海外の人がとても多かったです。

年末年始に近づいているからかもしれないですが、観光の人が確実に戻ってきていますね。

自宅に帰る前に、大阪のキタというエリアの梅田によりました。空港から家に帰る途中に梅田があります。

梅田も人がたくさんいました。
クリスマス前というのもあり、プレゼントなどを探している人が多かったですね。

みなさんはクリスマスプレゼントは買いましたか？
僕と妻は、プレゼントを買いあうことはしていません。
はじめは少しだけしたと思いますが。

本当に欲しい物ならいいんですが、どうしても物を増やしてしまうことになります。2人ともできるだけ物を増やしたくない、できるだけ少ない物で生活をしたいので、プレゼントは買っていません。

ちょっと話がそれましたが、今の大阪は、コロナ前と同じぐらいの人がいます。

もちろん、マスクも必要ですが、前ほど気にする必要はなさそうだなと思いました。

旅行で大阪に行く予定の人は楽しんでくださいね！


ということで、今回は今の大阪について話しました。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！

In this episode, we explore OET Nursing Speaking — Managing Exam Stress and Panic Attacks, a realistic Band-A consultation between a nurse and an 18-year-old student struggling with anxiety before exams.

You’ll hear how the nurse uses empathy, reassurance, and clear psychoeducation to explain that panic attacks are a normal stress response — not a heart problem.
This case demonstrates effective structure, active listening, and practical coping advice, including:

Paced breathing techniques

Visualisation and grounding (5-4-3-2-1 method)

Lifestyle adjustments (sleep, breaks, exercise)

Collaborative follow-up planning

🎯 Ideal for OET Nursing candidates aiming for Band A in Clinical Communication Criteria — especially:

A. Relationship Building

B. Understanding and Perspective

C. Providing Structure

D. Information Gathering

E. Information Giving

📚 Learn how to sound calm, supportive, and confident — even when your patient feels overwhelmed.

Fake it till you make it - IELTS speaking success!

Fake it till you make it is an expression in which a person imitates the confidence or skills they need to succeed in what they are doing in the hopes that they will eventually feel real. 

Proponents of this idea say you can fake confidence and hope that, eventually, it will inspire real confidence. 

Have you had that before? What was the event? Can you describe it in great details using English?

I am sure you can do this, I believe in you and in your success!
