Main objectives of this material
- Develop practical medical vocabulary for a doctor's appointment, including terms such as blood pressure, swollen, x-rays, stomachache, bowel movements, and normal range.
- Improve listening and speaking skills by working through a scene-by-scene doctor and patient role play video, completing multiple choice, true or false, and dictation tasks based on a knee injury, stomach pain, and a blood pressure check.
- Learn and practise the imperative form for giving instructions and medical advice, using structures such as Take a rest, Please come back to see me, Let's check your blood pressure, and Don't bend your knee to give and follow clear health instructions.
What students are going to cover
In this lesson, students will explore what really happens during a medical consultation by watching a doctor and patient role play and working through it scene by scene. They will build medical vocabulary connected to symptoms, examinations, and treatment, then use it in a gap-fill and a full consultation dialogue between a doctor and a patient. Comprehension tasks cover multiple choice, true or false, and a short dictation of blood pressure readings. Students then focus on the imperative form, transforming prompts into natural instructions such as Drink more water, Please come back in three days, and Let's take some x-rays. By the end of the lesson, learners will be able to describe common symptoms in English, understand and follow a doctor's instructions, and give simple health advice using accurate imperative sentences.
