Learn how to talk about your family, describe family relationships, and compare people using simple English.
Main objectives of this material
- Learn health vocabulary such as a headache, a sore throat, a temperature, a cough, painkillers and cough syrup through an eight-picture symptom task and a gap-fill.
- Practise reading medicine labels and a sixteen-line pharmacy dialogue, then play the pharmacist in a role-play with four patient cards and a six-product shelf.
- Use functional language at the pharmacy: I’ve got a…, Have you got anything for…?, How often should I take it?, twice a day, after meals, should / shouldn’t.
What students are going to cover
In this lesson, students will learn how to get help at a pharmacy in English. They name eight common symptoms, read a model dialogue with six true-or-false questions, and answer six questions about a painkiller box and a cough syrup label (how many, how often, when). A language bank, a should / shouldn’t exercise and an error-correction dialogue prepare the final task: in “The Pharmacist Is In” the student chooses a medicine for four patients and explains how to take it. The pack includes a teacher’s version, a fillable PDF, slides, homework, a glossary, flashcards and speaking cards. By the end, learners can describe two symptoms, ask for a medicine and explain a dosage such as one tablet twice a day, after meals.
