That ____________ blood through the smooth ____________ walls of blood vessels, enables
the _____________ to _____________ and push food through the _________
_______________, and allows the ____________ to contract when a person is giving birth
18. 04:01 As muscles work, they also use energy and produce an important ____________, heat.
In fact, muscle provides about 85% of your warmth
which the heart and blood vessels then _____________ evenly across the body via the blood.
19. 04:15 Without that, we couldn't maintain the temperature necessary for our _________.

Speaking: Achieving Goals
The nature of life itself means that sometimes we feel like we are in a maze, turning left and right
and going around in circles, without clear directions of how to reach our destination. This is often the
reality for those who do not set goals as they move through life. Goal setting has been proven to help
trigger new and positive behaviors, help align our focus as well as promote a sense of self-mastery.
As a student, goal setting is a powerful technique which can directly influence your performance.
The process is quite simple and can be completed in three easy steps. To begin, write down the goal. This
makes it tangible and puts everything in motion. The next step is to make sure your goal has a definable
endpoint. Determining the amount of time needed to reach the goal and setting a deadline help to create
a realistic sense of urgency and provide the motivation necessary to attain that goal. After the deadline is
set, you now need to identify measures which indicate your progress and allow you to evaluate your
achievements. This makes it easier to make adjustments when necessary. To conclude, goals are targets
for us to aim at. They allow us to constantly review where we are, where we want to be, and how to get
there, therefore giving us a clear sense of direction.
29
Instructions
You will be given a goal to achieve.
You have two minutes to organize your thoughts on the topic.
Make sure that you have at least two objectives to reach the goal.
Give examples for each objective.
You are expected to speak about the topic for two minutes.

Speaking: Taking a Patient’s History
Tips When Taking Your Patient’s History
Often, the diagnosis of a patient’s health condition or disease may be helped by knowing a
little more about his or her life choices, general quality of life, or family history with disease.
Health-care professionals can attain this important information by asking their patients questions
when they come in for a checkup or health complaint. However, the first step is to make your
patients feel safe and secure in their relation with you as their health-care provider. Health
professionals start by asking their patients simple questions before moving on to direct questions
about the current ailment. Showing empathy with your patients through active listening and
displaying a genuine concern for their health and wellbeing is important. Doing so, health
professionals reach a point where the patient is comfortable enough to give them all the details.
It is important to include open-ended questions as well as short-answer questions in relation
to the patient’s details, chief complaint, and family members’ health history with similar conditions
or diseases. Be sure to ask your patient questions that relate to other aspects of their health, which
may not seem directly related, but could be an important factor in a more accurate diagnosis. As
is commonly known, human biological systems work together in keeping humans safe. An acute
condition clearly diagnosed today could be due to a chronic condition not as evidently observed.
Finally, asking your patients about what tests they may have taken in previous visits to
medical facilities, as well as previous diagnosis and medications, is very important. Knowing a
patient’s full medical history will help you, the health professional, avoid unnecessary drug
prescriptions and medically invasive procedures.

Speaking: Suggesting Solutions
Remember back to the last problem you encountered? How did you deal with the situation? Would
you do anything differently were it to happen again? Although we might not realize it, problem-solving and
decision-making are critical elements of our day-to-day activities. So, how do we know whether our
techniques are effective?
The most common mistake in problem-solving is trying to find a solution right away. That's a
mistake because it tries to put the solution at the beginning of the process, when what we need is for it to
be at the end. Once you have identified the problem, your default action should be to invest some time in
brainstorming ideas. This is usually the stage where creative ideas are born. With the list of possible
solutions, you can now begin evaluating each option by analyzing its benefits and drawbacks. Only through
this evaluation process can you determine the best alternative through prioritization.
As medical students, medical dilemmas are rife in your future professions, making problem-solving
and decision-making skills that much more important in your careers. To conclude, every problem presents
us with an opportunity to learn, be creative, evaluate alternatives and from it, derive a practical solution.
87
Instructions
You will be given a national or international problem/challenge. Define and suggest
solutions.
You have two minutes to organize your thoughts on the topic.
You may use a notes page.
You are expected to speak on the topic for two minutes.
Start by introducing yourself: name, college and ID number.
You may glance at your notes while you speak, but do not merely read off your paper.
