Have you ever had one of those moments where a simple activity turns into a total disaster? That’s exactly what happened to Andrew during what should have been a routine evening run! In this episode, you’ll follow Andrew through his unexpected adventure with tiny flying bugs, bloodshot eyes, and his first-ever visit to an eye doctor. But here’s the thing – this isn’t just a funny story. It’s packed with real English that you’ll actually use when talking about health problems, describing symptoms, and sharing your own mishaps with friends.

What you’ll learn:

• Essential medical vocabulary like “bloodshot,” “prescription,” “irritated,” and “artificial tears” that you’ll need in real situations


• The difference between ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians (even native speakers get confused!)


• Natural speaking flow – notice how Andrew corrects himself, adds details, and changes topics just like in real conversations


• Practical expressions for describing symptoms and explaining problems to doctors


• The idiom “keep an eye out” and exactly when to use it in everyday English

Perfect for you if:

• You want to understand how native speakers tell personal stories and share experiences


• You’re building confidence with medical and health-related vocabulary


• You love learning through entertaining, relatable stories instead of boring textbook lessons
