4、ords. For the definitions, start by teaching the physical symptoms (dizzy, cough, fever, ache, etc.). You can show these by acting them out. Then say a word and have a student act out the symptom. Tell students that the word ache can be applied to head, stomach, tooth or back. After the warm-up, stu
5、dents have already know the word thermometer. You may also introduce the word temperature, and say “We use a thermometer to take our temperature.” (This is also introducing the infinitive to take.) For painkillers, you can explain that there are many different brands of these. Ask students to tell y
6、ou some well-known painkiller brands. Once students are comfortable with the new words, let them do the exercises, correcting any mistakes. For the word infection, you can explain the meaning and then ask students what causes and prevents infections. For example, if you cut yourself, cleaning the wo
7、und and using a bandage can prevent infection. You may also want to teach the word germ with the sentence, “An infection is caused by germs.” For more vocabulary related to health, see Useful Links on page 15.C and DTo improve students listening and comprehension skills Tell the students they will h
8、ear a conversation between Jason and his doctor. Then listen to the conversation and have students complete the sentences. Correct any mistakes.

Next, students can complete the dialogue in Exercise C. Have a group ofthe video students read out the dialogue with one student playing the
13、role of Mrs. Sanchez, one as the doctor, one as Mr. Sanchez and the other as Hector. For an extension activity, you can also have students rewrite the conversation, using different names. To check the answers for Exercises B, C, and D, students can exchange books and listen as you go through the ans
14、wers. If you would like to assign homework, you can tell students that they must rewrite every incorrect answer 5, 10 or 20 times at your discretion.ReadingTo improve students reading comprehension and learn about routine checkups Explain to students the meaning of routine checkup. Then, ask student
15、s how often they have a routine checkup or when their last checkup was. Before reading, have students brainstorm some things that might happen in a routine checkup.

18、rsation Explain to students that they will hear a conversation in which a customer is talking to a pharmacist at the drugstore. Introduce the key vocabulary words for this conversation. Tell the students to listen carefully and write down what they hear in the blank spaces. If necessary, pause the r
19、ecording so that students have time to write. Next, have students practice talking about health, monitoring them while they do so. Now, have students read through Language Note, teaching the idiom once in a blue moon. Ask students some things that they do once in a blue moon. For example, “I go abro
20、ad once in a blue moon.” A game you can play with this is every student writes a once in a blue moon sentence on a piece of paper. Then you put all the papers into a hat and read them out one by one. Have the class guess who wrote each sentence. For Exercise C, review some basic expressions and sent
21、ences about seeing a doctor. Then have students work in pairs and do a role-play. One acts as the patient and the other the doctor. Walk around the class and provide students with some guidance.

23、ion.GrammarTo teach students about gerunds and infinitives Start by explaining to students what gerunds and infinitives are. Its important that the students understand the basic concept that gerunds and infinitives change verbs into nouns. The best way to do this is to give some examples. Start with
24、 subject sentences, for example “Swimming is good exercise for your muscles.” or “To swim is good exercise for your muscles.” (Obviously, the gerund form is more commonly used here, but both are grammatically correct.) Tell students that in this sentence, swimming is the name of an activity, and is
25、thus a noun. Have students make their own examples and write them on the board. Then, tell students that when gerunds and infinitives are objects, they are used after certain verbs. Write the lists on the board and drill them to help students memorize them. One way to do this is to have students rea
26、d them out loud and then erase a word. Students must read them all out loud, including the word you erased (you point to a blank space). In the end, the whole board will be blank and students will be reading out the words from memory. This may take some time but is worth it to help students remember
27、. Finish by having students complete the exercises, and then ask them to exchange books and go through the answers, correcting any mistakes. For more information and extra activities related to gerunds and infinitives, see Useful Links on.My StoryTo improve students listening comprehension and speak
