Unit 2
Point out the change of me to him in the first sentence and read through the section at the bottom of the ‘Grammar’ box on pronoun changes. Tell students that they must think about this change as well. Give another example to reinforce this: Listen to us! Æ They told him to listen to them. Highlight the changes (to, not to, pronouns, etc.) in different colours if you can or underline them to draw attention to them. Then get students to copy this down to help them remember it.
3. As a lead into exercise 3, ask students how often they go to the chemist’s. Who do they buy medicine for? Where is the nearest chemist’s? Read out practice exercise 3 as a class. Check students understand the situation and the orders from the doctor (take tablets, contact, pain, etc.). Now ask students to complete the sentences individually after doing the first together as an example. Students can check in pairs and then check as a class on the board.
Sample answers (ex. 3, p. 25) The pharmacist told her to take two tablets three times a day. She also told her to drink a lot of water with the tablets and not to eat anything for half an hour after taking the tablets. She told her not to take the tablets for more than five days and to contact her doctor if the pain doesn’t stop after five days.
4. Round off this section with exercise 4 on p. 26. First have students read the sentences and decide which are commands and which are requests. Elicit the appropriate verbs. Then let them complete the sentences individually before checking as a class.
Answers (ex.4, p. 26) 1. 2. 3. 4.
