Unit opener page Be aware of, and arouse interest in, the topics for the unit
Draw students’ attention to the photograph. Ask: What can you see? (A hospital sign showing directions to different departments.) Ask students to name any other departments they know. Accept any reasonable suggestions as the purpose here is to invite interest in the unit.
Get students to look at the Wordle. Ask how many words they know, but do not give feedback at this stage.
Doctors’ services
Understand and practise target vocabulary: doctors’ services Pronounce percentages with correct stress
Introduction This unit focuses on healthcare services by general practitioners (GPs) worldwide. Refer back to the Primary Care Centres students learnt about in Unit 1, and the position of the GP in those. There are many more services available, of course, from GP surgeries and Primary Care Centres, than the ones mentioned here.

and intonation. Play the recording for
students to match the photos with the services they hear about.
Students listen and repeat. Practise correct stress Ask students to label the photos on pages 34 and
35 before you play the recording again. Elicit answers.
Note there are no photos for ‘minor surgery’ and ‘general check-up’. Discuss with students what these services might entail. Also ask students which of these services is likely to be part of one of the other services. (Answer: blood pressure monitoring is part of a general check-up.)

Transcript 041
GPs do many different things. I’m a GP in Vietnam. What do I do? Ok, here are some examples of my work. People want to start a family. They come to me to talk about it. They’re very happy. I give children, or people who travel, injections. It is safe for them. Many people weigh too much. They are too heavy. I help them. I work in a Primary Care Centre. When parents have a baby, we take care of them and their baby. Older people come to me often. I check that their blood pressure is OK. It’s very important to check your skin. I do that for people. I love my work!

Extra practice with strong students Ask students for more services that they think GPs or Primary Care Centres might deliver. Students work in pairs for a few minutes. Elicit some of their ideas. Don’t worry if they can’t think of the names: let them describe the services and allow them, if possible, to look answers up on the internet if that is available to you.
Answers
Possible answers: diabetes care, ear cleaning, chronic disease management, cryo-therapy (freezing skin lesions, an example of minor surgery), chiropody (foot care), referrals to specialists, etc.
B 1.–2.
Give students time to study the photos again. They discuss in pairs or groups which services they are, or are not, interested in delivering if they were a GP. Elicit their reasons.
C
1. Students look at Table 1. Check students understand the title of the table. Explain they must first predict the order of importance of these services. Elicit, but do not confirm or correct.
2. Play the recording and students write down the
percentages they hear. Students discuss answers in pairs. After a couple of minutes, elicit answers, but do not confirm or correct.
3. Students check their answers to C1. They can now work out if they transferred the correct information about any of the services in the first task.
