Teacher: Good morning, everyone. I am glad to see you today.

Pupils: Good morning, teacher. We are glad to see you, too.

Teacher: The theme of our lesson today is «Illnesses and their treatment». But  before we start I’d like to play a game.

2. Warming-up.

Game «Guess the parts of the body».

Class is divided into two teams. The teacher puts two sets of the cards (HO1) on the desks face down. Each member of the team comes up to the desk, takes one of the cards, makes up a word of  the letters given in the card and writes this word on the blackboard. The team gets one point for every correct word. The winner is the team, which will get more points.

HO1: Make up the names of the parts of the body using the letters.

          ( The teacher points at  the pictures ( HO2) fixed to the blackboard, which demonstrate some illnesses, and the pupils in turns name the illnesses.)

                2. Teacher: Now let’s see if you can use these words correctly.

            (The teacher distributes cards for individual work (HO3) to every pupil. The pupils have to complete the sentences with the words from the box. Having finished the work, pupils read the sentences out in chain.)

4. Presentation of the vocabulary.

   The teacher uses the pictures HO2 and adds the pictures with the names of medicines (also fixed to the blackboard). The medicines are : cold remedy, cough mixture, throat lozenges, ear drops, antacid tablets. The teacher reads the names of the medicines aloud and the pupils repeat. Then the teacher suggests the pupils to match the medicines to the illnesses. The pupils with the help of the teacher find out the meaning of the medicines and when they are prescribed.

5. Vocabulary and grammar practice.

Pupil 2: You should take cough mixture. What should I take for cold?

Pupil 3: You should take cold remedy. What should I take for earache?..
