Learning English requires more than just mastering grammar and vocabulary; it's essential to use the language naturally in real-life situations. However, textbook sentences are often too formal and distant from everyday language. To speak fluent and natural English, you need to engage with dialogues in real contexts. In this section, we’ve selected common and practical expressions used in daily life, covering scenarios such as social interactions, work, travel, and more. This helps you move away from 'textbook English' and learn the expressions foreigners actually use. Below is the content of 'Real Life English Unit 11: Hospitals and Clinics'.

When you call 911, you are asked if you need the police, the fire department, or an ambulance. For health emergencies, an ambulance is sent to your location and takes you to the hospital’s emergency room. At the emergency room, a nurse checks on your injury and assigns you a place in line to see the doctor. If you are truly dying, you will see the doctor right away. If you have a cut or a broken arm, you may need to wait. In this way, the doctors are able to try to help the people who most need help. It is important to remember this and try to be patient.
