A2 ESL lesson "Doctor, what should I do?" — should and shouldn't for advice with health vocabulary

Health and Symptoms Vocabulary

The lesson begins with a warm-up photo activity where students talk about feeling sick and visiting the doctor. They learn common symptoms vocabulary (e.g. headache, fever, sore throat) with images and audio support. Matching exercises and sentence gap-fills help reinforce understanding.

Should and Shouldn't: Giving Advice

Students explore two key grammar points: should / shouldn't for giving advice (e.g. You should drink water.) and What would you do if…? with the Second Conditional for hypothetical situations (e.g. I would go to the doctor.). They complete grammar charts, fill-in-the-blank tasks, and respond to problem-solving scenarios using the correct form.

Dialogue and Reading: Talking to a Doctor

Through an audio dialogue, students practise talking to a doctor, describing symptoms, and responding naturally. A reading section with matching definitions builds comprehension of key terms like treatment, oath, and patient.

Interactive Homework: Health Collocations

Students complete collocation and sentence-building exercises using phrasal expressions like suffer from, deal with, and recover from.
