1 Expanding Vocabulary Knowledge
This activity aims to help students recall the vocabulary related to health problems and give and
understand simple instructions in case of emergency. It also helps them to be aware of the
pronunciation of the words they have learned.
Materials and Preparation
Photocopy the worksheets on pages 169 and 170 for each group of four and cut up the cards.

Procedure
1 Put the class into an even number of groups with four students and give each group a set of cards,
both the words/phrases worksheet and meanings worksheet.
2 Ask them to shuffle the words/phrases their meanings very well. Tell them that all students in the
group will work collaboratively to match the words/phrases to their meanings. When they have
finished the activity, check the correct answers with the class.
3 Then, have students study the pronunciation of each word/phrase. Ask them to use their dictionaries
or online dictionaries to check the correct pronunciation of the words/phrases.
4 Ask students to listen to the pronunciation of the words/phrases carefully to check if they have
mistakes or not. Play the audio and have them listen.
5 After they have covered the meaning and pronunciation of the words/phrases ask them to use each
word/phrase in a sentence to give and understand simple instructions in case of emergency—fire,
earthquake, home accidents, rubbery, etc. Let them share their sentences with the class.

2 First Aid Tips

This activity aims for students to revise the topic-related vocabulary and practise giving and
understanding simple instructions in case of emergency.

Materials and Preparation
Print and photocopy the worksheet on page 171 for each student.

Procedure
1 Ask students some questions to brainstorm and recall the topic-related vocabulary and to elicit the
prior knowledge of students about the practice of first aid. For example, “Do you know what to do
when someone faints? What are the things that you should and you should never do when you burn
yourself?”
2 Hand out the worksheets to students.
3 Explain that each clue sentence in the crossword puzzle is a step of first aid for minor cuts or snake
bites.
4 Ask them to work in pairs to complete the crossword puzzle with the verbs missing from the
sentences. Remind them that they must use imperative sentences while giving instructions.
5 When they have finished the activity, let them sort the instructions based on whether they describe
treatments for snake bite or minor cuts.
6 Check the answers with the class.
