It's Halima from Blackboard English.
If you're feeling unwell
It's a good idea to see the doctors.
But before you go to the doctors,
You need to make an appointment.
Today we're going to learn
Phrases to use when you're making an appointment.
I'm going to help you sound natural when you're speaking
and we're going to lots of listening practice and writing.
Before we start the listening activity
I want you to look at these pictures
and think of phrases that we can use
to make an appointment
Write this down in your notebook.
Now you're going to listen to somebody making an appointment.
What I want you to is write down the nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
And that's it.
Let's practice and see.
Look at this sentence.
The woman walked to the hospital.
What words are you going to write down?
You should have written down.
woman
walked
and hospital
Nothing else.
And that's what you're going to do when you do the listening.
You don’t look well.
Maybe you should go and see a doctor.
Well, I don't feel well.
I’ve had a headache for three days
Maybe I should make an appointment.
Here’s my phone. Go ahead and call.

Ok great. We've finished with the listening part.
Now I want you to take the words you've written down and put them in a sentence.
I’m going to put the dialogue you heard on the screen.
I want you to compare what you've written to what's on the screen. Now.
Now you've completed the activities and the listening part.
Let's look at a few phrases that are important.
The first collocation is...
'see a doctor'
This is a verb + noun collocation
The second one is 'make an appointment'.
The is also verb + noun collocation.
And the third one is a little bit important
especially when you're talking the doctor.
mmm is the symptoms
Symptoms are things that wrong with you. ----> [something wrong with your body or mind which shows that you have a particular illness - From Longman Dictionary]
I said have a headache.
There're also other things you could say.
I have a toothache.
I have a stomach ache.
There's many more.
But don't worry. I've created a poster for you guys.
