Lead in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context for the target language through a building story

T asks: " What might be the conversation between the patient and the doctor?" T asks: " One of you will be the doctor, one of you will be the patient.Discuss in pairs" The teacher indicates visuals (ilnesses, symptoms) and Sts are expected to say: " She has a headache and the doctor says: " I think you should....". T elicits answers and they discuss together as a WC.

Highlighting the target language • To review and practice the functional language in the context of "ilness, symptom and giving advice"

T says one by one: " Apple, banana, orange and grape." Sts will sit according to their fruit names. They are given jumbled dialogue and Sts are expected to put the sentences in the correct order with their partners. Then T gives answer keys. They check together.

Pronunciation Practice (3-5 minutes) • To provide Sts with an accurate intonation and pronunciation of the functional language.

T writes some sentences from the dialogue on the WB. T asks: " How do you read it"? T models the pronunciation of the sentences. The teacher drills them.

T divides the board and writes pink and blue at the top of the WB.T again selects the Sts saying pink, blue, pink, blue. The teacher asks: "You are patient and I am a doctor. I will give you the expressions of the patience on mini cardboards." Pinks and Blues are going to put the expressions as quickly as possible on the WB after the T reads the doctor's statement. For ex: T is going to say: " What's the matter? " and each group is going to select the answer from their cardboards and put it on the board. ( eg: I feel awful) The group who finishes quickly will get ticks from the teacher after every statement. At the end, the group with more ticks will be the winner.
