口說真題分享

A person who has chosen a career in the medical field 選擇從事醫療領域工作的人

《A person who has chosen a career in the medical field 選擇從事醫療領域工作的人》是《雅思口說當季真經全詳解》Sep-Dec 2024 中收錄的雅思口說 part 3 延伸 part 2 cue card 的考題。問題內容如下（節錄）：

1. Can a hospital function effectively without nurses?
   沒有護士，醫院能有效運作嗎？

   沒辦法，沒有護士，醫院就無法有效運轉。她們就像是醫療保健的中堅力量。例如，去年我奶奶住院時，就是護士們一直在那裡照顧她，給她餵藥，確保她舒適。醫生會來做短暫的探視，但護士是全天候的。沒有護士，病人就無法得到所需的持續護理。她們所做的遠不止遵照醫囑，她們是真正保證醫院順利運行的人。

   No way, a hospital can’t function effectively without nurses. They’re like the backbone of healthcare. For example, when my grandma was in the hospital last year, it was the nurses who were always there, checking on her, giving her medicine, and making sure she was comfortable. Doctors came by for short visits, but nurses were there 24/7. Without nurses, patients wouldn’t get the constant care they need. They do so much more than just follow doctors’ orders—they’re the ones who really keep the hospital running smoothly.

2. What are the differences between the work of a doctor and a nurse?
   醫生和護士的工作有何不同？

   主要區別在於，醫生負責診斷和開處方，而護士則提供更多的實際護理。例如，我的朋友摔斷了胳膊，醫生為他做了檢查，開了X 光片，並決定了治療方案。但正是護士為他準備了X 光片，幫助他打上石膏，並教他如何在家護理。醫生通常專注于具體的醫療問題，而護士通常負責病人的整體護理，包括檢查生命體征、給藥和幫助病人進行日常活動等。兩者都很重要，但作用卻截然不同。

   The main difference is that doctors diagnose and prescribe treatment, while nurses provide more hands-on care. For instance, when my friend broke his arm, the doctor examined him, ordered X-rays, and decided on the treatment plan. But it was the nurses who set up the X-ray, helped put on the cast, and taught him how to take care of it at home. Doctors usually focus on specific medical issues, while nurses often handle overall patient care, including things like checking vital signs, administering medication, and helping patients with daily activities. Both are crucial, but their roles are quite different.

3. Do you think it is necessary to learn first aid skills?
   你認為有必要學習急救技能嗎？

   點此看中文

   當然！學習急救技能超級重要。你永遠不知道什麼時候會需要在緊急情況下說明別人。例如，去年在學校運動會上，一個孩子不小心摔倒，膝蓋被嚴重劃傷。因為我學過一些基本的急救知識，所以我知道如何清理傷口和按壓止血，直到校醫到來。這也不僅僅是大的緊急況——即使知道如何處理輕微燒傷或在有人窒息時該怎麼做，也能起到巨大的作用。這些技能可以拯救生命。

   Absolutely! Learning first aid skills is super important. You never know when you might need to help someone in an emergency. For example, last year at our school sports day, a kid fell and cut his knee pretty badly. Because I had learned some basic first aid, I knew how to clean the wound and apply pressure to stop the bleeding until the school nurse arrived. It’s not just about big emergencies either—even knowing how to treat a minor burn or what to do if someone’s choking can make a huge difference. These skills can literally save lives.

4. Do you think that doctors and nurses are not paid enough?
   你認為醫生和護士的工資不夠高嗎？

   點此看中文

   老實說，我認為醫生和護士應該得到更多的報酬，尤其是在看到他們工作如此辛苦之後。在COVID-19大流行期間，臺灣的醫護人員冒著自己健康受損的危險，超時工作，照顧病人。我的表姐是一名護士，她的工作時間長達12小時，有時一周工作6天。這不僅僅是時間的問題，他們所承受的壓力和責任也是巨大的。他們每天都在與人的生命打交道。雖然他們的生活還算過得去，但我認為他們的薪酬應該反映出他們工作的重要性和艱巨性。

   點此看英文

   Honestly, I think doctors and nurses deserve to be paid more, especially after seeing how hard they work. During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers in Taiwan were putting in crazy long hours and risking their own health to take care of patients. My cousin, who’s a nurse, was working 12-hour shifts, sometimes 6 days a week. It’s not just about the time though—the stress and responsibility they have is huge. They’re dealing with people’s lives every day. While they do make a decent living, I think their pay should reflect the incredible importance and difficulty of their work.
