Unit 1: The world of healthcare
D 1.–2.
Students select one of the places and complete the information. Students will not have to give any information about the place. They only mention it. Remind students about the use of short forms of the verb be if necessary: name is = name’s/I am = I’m/it is = it’s.
Possible answers
Good afternoon! My name is Dr Brook. I’m your GP. I work in the medical centre. What is the matter?

Divide the class into groups of three. Demonstrate the activity using one or two stronger members of the class. Tell the class they must be good listeners as well as speakers. Refer students to the form in the Resources on CB page 153 and make sure they understand how to complete it. Monitor while students are giving their introductions. Make a note of common errors for later feedback. See the Introduction for more help on dealing with presentations and using feedback forms.
NOTE In this exercise, students rehearse their
talks. They need to get into the habit of practising (individually or with a partner) what they are going to say. Students need to monitor their own performance independently and try to improve it. They should say each sentence for accuracy first – good pronunciation of individual phonemes and good stress and intonation – and then for fluency, i.e., gradually speeding up to a normal native speaker speed. Ideally, they should say each sentence several times before they have to say it in front of the class.
English in action: Numbers and units of measurement
Practise a conversation between a GP and a patient Say numbers 11–99 with better pronunciation Be familiar with measurements and prices
Understand and practise target vocabulary: medical instruments
Introduction Exploit the advertisement on page 12. Ask students to tell you about the setting for this lesson and what they think it will be about. Ask a few comprehension questions, e.g., What is a medical centre? What’s a medical consultation?
Language note The photo shows the British English (BrE) spelling, centre, rather than the American English (AmE) spelling, center. This is one of the many differences between BrE and AmE.
A
Set the task. Encourage students to read the complete text before they try to fill in the answers. Students complete individually, and then compare answers in pairs. Elicit answers. Go over any answers or vocabulary causing difficulty.

B 1.–3.
Draw students’ attention to the photographs on page 13, and elicit what the context is (Angie is going for a medical check up). Ask students what they understand by the term ‘medical check up’ and get their ideas. Refer students to the pictures. Students work in pairs to answer all the questions. If necessary, give prompts to help students guess the names of the instruments.
