多益普及英語測驗（TOEIC Bridge）的常見情境中，包含醫院（hospital）、診所（clinic）與藥局（pharmacy）等場景，其中最常出現的呈現形式，就是「公告」（announcement）、「醫囑」（doctor's advice/order）、「預約（更改與取消）」（reservation, making changes and cancellations），下表將簡單介紹這三種情境的答題技巧。

為了確保測驗公平性，TOEIC Bridge不會出現關於身體不適的負面詞彙，以免影響考生情緒，但還是推薦大家未來進一步學習「如何以英文表達身體不舒服結合溝通情境學習醫院診所篇出國怕生病？學會情境用字就搞定的狀況」，畢竟若有一天在出國時需要就醫，這是很關鍵的生存能力！下面共有兩篇閱讀題組，分別是公告、預約的形式，一起來練習看看吧！
