BEGINNERS 2 COURSE, 2023, CLASS 6

 This week we revised the vocabulary on body parts and we learnt how to express illnesses:

 

Las enfermedades – the illnesses

Me duele la cabeza – I have a headache

Me duele la muela – I have a sore tooth

Tengo la pierna rota – I broke my leg

Tengo tos – I’m coughing

Tengo un resfriado / tengo un constipado– I have a cold

Tengo la gripe – I have the flu

Tengo fiebre – I have high temperature

Me duele la muela del juicio - I have a pain in my wisdom tooth

 

Tengo alergia - I have an allergy

 

Tengo intolerancia - I have an intolerance

 

We read a dialogue and we translated the new words:

-Hola Marco, ¿qué te pasa? – Hey Marco, what 's wrong? (informal way)

-Hola Doctor, no me encuentro bien. Tengo fiebre y me duele todo el cuerpo – Hello doctor, I don’t feel very well. I have high temperature and my whole body aches.

-Bueno, vamos a ver. Me parece que tienes la gripe. Te daré una receta para unos antibióticos- ok let me see. It seems that you have the flu. I will give you a prescription for some antibiotics.

 

We also practiced different dialogues and we commented on them.

¿Qué te pasa? – What’s wrong?

Estoy mal. Tengo la gripe. – I feel bad. I have the flu.

Deberías descansar. ¿Tienes fiebre? – You should have a rest. Do you have high temperature?

Sí, tengo fiebre – Yes I do.

Deberías beber mucha agua – You should drink plenty of water

Vale – ok

Y si no mejoras, deberías ir al médico – and if you don’t get better, you should go to the doctor.

¿Al médico? No me gusta ir al médico. – To the doctor? I don’t like going to the doctor.

¿Te duele la cabeza? – Do you have a headache?

Sí, mucho – Yes, a lot.

¿Por qué no te tomas una aspirina? Aquí tienes – Why don’t you take a painkiller? Here you have.

 

We talked about advice – Consejo.

Deberías + verb in infinitive You should

Deberías descansar – you should rest

¿Por qué no + verb in present? – Why don’t you …?
