Ray Sands: Well err, in the first instance, I was given painkillers, obviously, err… Ibuprofen as far as I remember… err, and I was told to put compression packs on the affected area. I mean that did ease the pain a little, but I was still housebound practically speaking. Physiotherapist: OK. Ray Sands: Err…Then the GP sent me to see an osteopath and I got some treatment there, but it didn’t seem to make much difference, so I was referred to a sports injury specialist, of all things, err… and he did erm a number of things that did seem to ease things a little, like working on my spine and lower legs, oh and he… he gave me a set of exercises to do at home. Physiotherapist: I see, erm…any other treatment? Ray Sands: Err… oh yeah, I almost forgot, there was this course of injections and I went for various other therapies like ultrasound and another one where they do… well they use like, electrical impulses.

Physiotherapist: So which of these various treatments do you feel was most effective? Err, what made the difference? Ray Sands: Mmm…well I couldn’t say for certain, because it all went on for four months without much improvement really. Then it wasn’t until suddenly in the fifth month, things changed quite dramatically. So to be honest with you, I think it was the combination of treatments gradually taking effect and coming together rather than one single thing making the difference. Physiotherapist: OK, and did anyone ever talk to you about what might be causing the problem? Ray Sands: Well, I think everyone assumed that a slipped disc was behind it all, but this was never actually confirmed as that. I mean, I know there is this other condition where you get a lot of pain in the buttocks, but that wasn’t my experience. Physiotherapist: OK. And did anyone talk to you about aspects of your lifestyle that might be contributing to the problem? Ray Sands: Well, I remember… [fade] 参照: OET Sample Test 1 Part A｜OET公式サイトより https://www.occupationalenglishtest.org/preparation-portal/free-sample-tests/listening-sample-test-1/
