Notes for teachers

Start with Exercise 1 to check body-part meanings, then move through the collocations and word forms before the freer sentence-building tasks. Learners often say make a cold instead of catch a cold, forget irregular plurals like feet and teeth, and confuse health with healthy. As a follow-up, ask pairs to write and act out a short doctor–patient dialogue using at least six words from the worksheet.
