hello..we meet again
today,we've moved to unit 3:breaking bad news....

we manage to cover 3 lesson today which is;
-can you describe the pain
we learned a little bit on what type of questions a doctor should ask the patient when he wants to gain information about the patient's pain. The 3 points that should be applied are; features of pain, main questions, and follow-up questions. Other than that, we learned about how to differentiate between intensity of pain and character of pain.

-It's how you say it
I've managed to glean a few details on how a pronunciation can change the meaning of some phrases.Here,we learned a communication tip, which stated, “the old saying, “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it is especially true in the medical field. A small change in a health care provider's intonation can completely change a patient’s attitude and cooperation.
-it's getting you down isn't it
We learned on how and where to use formal language and informal (non-technical speech).Other than that, we also learned on how the pronunciation of question tags can make a difference between asking a question, or, asking for confirmation.

“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for fewer problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom
