Summary

In this week’s bonus episode, Andrew tells the story of what happened after he hurt his knee during a marathon. He talks about his trip to the doctor, getting different treatments, and what it was like walking around with a leg brace.

How this episode will improve your English:

* Listening practice: Follow a natural story about visiting the doctor and dealing with an injury. Practice understanding a longer narrative with real-life details.
* Vocabulary building: Learn essential medical and health vocabulary like "orthopedic," "administering," "brace," and "treatment." Master words you might need at the doctor's office.
* Idioms and expressions: Pick up natural expressions like "a godsend," "put weight on," and "eye-opening." Learn how English speakers talk about health and recovery.
* Speaking skills: Learn how to explain symptoms, describe pain, and talk about medical experiences in natural English.
* Real-life English: Get comfortable with doctor-patient conversations and medical situations in English.
* Grammar in context: Notice how English speakers tell stories in the past tense and use sequence words to explain events.
* English speaking: Join discussions with other listeners on the Culips Discord server for additional speaking practice.
