Parts of the Body and Illnesses

Week 24^h– 26^thJune

Last week we finished talking about families and possessions.

We listened to Sarah telling us about the people in the pictures.

The first photo was a picture of her mother and Martin. Martin is Sarah’s mother’s partner. He is a doctor. He and her mother work in the same hospital.

In the second picture we can see Sophie and her parents. Sophie is Sarah’s niece. In the last photo we can see Sarah and Adam. Adam is Sarah’s cousin.

  

Then we revised vocabulary about parts of the body.

You can learn them with a game on this link

We started talking about illnesses. Describing symptoms and giving advice.

We use “To have (or to have got) a ----ache” with

Headache – toothache – earache – backache and stomach ache

We can also:

Have a cold / have a temperature / have a cough and sneeze.

Practise the dialogues:

What’s the matter?

I have a headache.

You should take some tablets. You shouldn’t work too much.

What’s the matter?

I have a toothache.

You should go to the dentist. You shouldn’t eat too many sweets.

____________________________________________________

I’ve got a backache.

You should rest. You shouldn’t carry heavy things.

Remember that we use should / shouldn’t to give advice or recommendation.

Listening- At the doctor's

We’ll continue on Thursday!
