A Story About Fear
from Inside English Podcast · host Sandra Sharpe
Are you a hostage to fear? If so, you are not alone! In this episode, I share a personal story about my father, who delayed a colonoscopy out of fear and was later diagnosed with colon cancer. I reflect on how fear can paralyze people, lead them to avoid necessary care, and ultimately cause more harm than the risks they feared. You will learn new vocabulary, English phrases, idioms, and, of course, improve your listening comprehension. Enjoy
