Teacher shows pictures of people with different diseases. T elicits the body part that has been hurt and the kind of injury. Students write the target language beneath the pictures. T erases the target language and drills it. Students then change their partner if there are any mistake. Students work in pairs to read the conversations on p. 34 and decide what is wrong with each conversation.

Students work in pairs to complete the friends' final sentences with the suitable advice. T reminds the students of the use of should.

Students listen to the recording and see if the advice is close to theirs. Then, they have a discussion whether they tried the treatments and whether they are helpful.

Students work individually to mark the sentences S or U, according to being sympathetic or not. They do peer-checking after that. Students then listen to the recording and try to copy the stress to show sympathy.
