Activity 2a Look and match.

Answer key: 1c/e/f; 2e/f/g; 3a; 4b; 5b; 6d; 7b/e/f
Activity 2b Work in pairs. Say an illness and give advice.
Put the pupils into pairs. Explain that Pupil A complains about health, Pupil B gives advice.
Activity 3 Work in pairs. Play “The doctor and the patient”.
STEP 1: First, demonstrate. Ask for a volunteer pupil. Explain that you are the doctor and the pupil is the patient. If you have a long, white coat and a toy stethoscope, this will make the role-play even more realistic (and fun!).
First, create the scene - two chairs facing each other for the doctor’s office. Have the “patient” knock to enter the room and tell the patient to sit down. Ask ‘What’s wrong?’ and get the patient to say something, e.g.: ‘I have a tummy ache’. Then do an examination, e.g. take his pulse. Then say: ‘Ok, anything else?’ and elicit another problem, e.g.: ‘I have a sore throat’. Again do a medical examination, e.g. look down his throat. Each time elicit more problems and do other examinations, e.g. listen to his back with the stethoscope, check knee reflexes, look in ears, etc.
At the end say: ‘Hmm. You look bad. You have a cold!’ Then prescribe something, e.g. “Drink hot lemon tea and go to bed”.
STEP 2: Now put the class into pairs and let them role-play. Let them have as much fun as they want, but helping with the target language.
STEP 3: Finally, have the best pairs do their role-plays in front of the class.
Activity 4a Read and say.
STEP 1: Point to the texts in Activity 4a and say: ‘These boys are Aziz, Laziz and Ramiz. Read the texts and say what was wrong with boys’. Let the pupils read the text for some minutes.
STEP 2: Ask the pupils to say the health problems of the boys.
