Скачать или смотреть OET Speaking Roleplay 3 (Medicine): Diabetes Check-Up Doctor–Patient Consultation, Verbatim Subs

In this OET Speaking roleplay practice (Medicine, Roleplay Card 3), you’ll hear a doctor–patient consultation where the patient is worried they might have diabetes. This is perfect for OET Medicine candidates who want natural, patient-centred language for discussing symptoms, risk factors and next steps.

🎧 TIP: Turn on the subtitles/CC to see the full verbatim transcript of this roleplay – these are manual captions, not YouTube auto-captions. Use them to copy useful phrases and shadow the doctor accurately.
In this consultation, the doctor:


Explores fatigue, dizziness, thirst, breathlessness and itchy skin
– Asks about work stress, sleep, family responsibilities and lifestyle
– Checks diet, exercise and daily routine
– Clarifies the patient’s main worry about diabetes and long-term complications
– Explains what type 2 diabetes is in clear, simple language
– Outlines the role of diet, activity and medication in treatment
– Arranges a blood test and explains the next steps
– Summarises the plan and gives clear, supportive reassurance

🩺 How to use this video for OET Speaking
1️⃣ First, listen without subtitles and focus on the overall meaning.
2️⃣ Then turn on the manual subtitles/CC and listen again, pausing to notice:
• how the doctor uses empathy and reassurance
• how questions about symptoms, lifestyle and worries are structured
• how the plan (blood tests + lifestyle changes) is explained step by step
3️⃣ Finally, shadow the doctor’s lines out loud to improve fluency, intonation and natural phrasing for the OET Speaking test.
