This CELTA lesson focuses on functional speaking skills — specifically, how to show concern, relief, and sympathy in everyday situations such as visiting the doctor. It helps pre-intermediate learners sound more natural and confident when responding to good or bad news.
The lesson begins with a simple listening task and short guided practice activities, then moves toward a role-play where learners act out real-life doctor–patient conversations. Along the way, they learn and practise expressions such as:
- Oh dear. Really?
- What a relief!
- Phew. That’s good to hear!
The online version includes interactive audio tasks, matching exercises, pronunciation practice, and roleplay simulations, built with LearnPress and H5P.
