These are the parts we'll be talking about when we discuss health problems. ‹#› Headache & Toothache Headache /ˈhedeɪk/ n. 头痛 Example: I have a headache. I need to rest. Toothache /ˈtuːθeɪk/ n. 牙痛 Example: She has a toothache and can't eat. Remember these common pain words and their usage! 1.7.2013 When you have a pain in your head, it's called a headache.

Bruise /bruːz/ n.瘀伤 Example: She has a bruise on her arm from playing basketball. 1.7.2013 A nosebleed is when blood comes out of your nose. A bruise is a dark mark on your skin where you have been hit, but it's not broken. ‹#› Cut & Burn Cut /kʌt/ n. & v. 割伤 Example: Be careful with the knife, or you might cut yourself. Burn /bɜːn/ n. & v. 烧伤 Example: She burned her hand on the hot stove. 1.7.2013 A cut is a small wound made by a sharp object. A burn is an injury caused by fire or heat.

Match each picture with the correct word from the list. This is a good way to review what we've just learned. ‹#› 02 短语学习 Phrases Learning 1.7.2013 Great job with the vocabulary! Now, let's move on to some useful phrases related to health. ‹#› Have a Cold & Catch a Cold Have a Cold v. 感冒 (表示当前状态) Example: I have a cold. I need to stay in bed. Catch a Cold v. 患感冒 (表示动作过程) Example: She caught a cold from her brother. I caught a cold yesterday, and now I have a cold. 1.7.2013 "Have a cold" means you are sick with a cold now.

Hurt Oneself v. 伤到自己 Example: She hurt herself playing football. 总结:"Cut oneself" 特指割伤，而 "Hurt oneself" 是更通用的受伤表达。 1.7.2013 "Cut oneself" means to make a cut on your own body. "Hurt oneself" is a more general phrase meaning to injure yourself. ‹#› Phrasal Verbs: Put On & Take Off Put On v. 穿上 Put on your coat. It's cold outside.

"Take off" means to remove clothing from your body. These are very common phrasal verbs. ‹#› 03 句型解析 Sentence Patterns 1.7.2013 Now that we know some words and phrases, let's learn how to use them in sentences. These sentence patterns will help us talk about health problems and give advice. ‹#› Describing Health Problems Key Sentences What's the matter with you? What's wrong with you? Dialogue A:What's the matter with you, Tom? You look tired. B:I have a headache. I didn't sleep well last night. A:Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. You should get some rest. 1.7.2013 To ask someone what's wrong, you can say "What's the matter with you?" or "What's wrong with you?" They mean the same thing. ‹#› Expressing Pain I have a + [Body Part] + ache. I have a stomachache. I have a backache. My + [Body Part] + hurts. My tooth hurts. My throat hurts. Note: "Ache" is usually used with head, tooth, stomach, back, etc. "Hurt" is more general and can be used with any body part. 1.7.2013 To express that a part of your body is painful, you can use either "I have a ... ache" or "My ... hurts". For example, "I have a toothache" is the same as "My tooth hurts". ‹#› Giving Advice (1) Key Sentences You should + 动词原形. You should drink more water. You should see a doctor. You shouldn't + 动词原形. You shouldn't eat junk food. You shouldn't stay up late. Example A:I have a sore throat. B:You should drink some warm tea. You shouldn't eat spicy food. 1.7.2013 To give advice, we use "should" and "shouldn't". "Should" is for things you think are a good idea. "Shouldn't" is for things you think are a bad idea. ‹#› Giving Advice (2) Key Sentences Why not + 动词原形? Why not go to bed early? Why not take a walk? It's a good idea to + 动词原形. It's a good idea to get some rest. It's a good idea to exercise every day. Example A:I'm feeling stressed. B:Why not listen to some music? It's a good idea to relax.

You can also say "It's a good idea to...". ‹#› Role-play Situation You are at school. Your classmate, Lily, looks sad. You ask her what's wrong. She tells you she has a stomachache. You give her some advice. Useful Sentences What's the matter with you? I have a stomachache. You should... / You shouldn't... Why not...? Example Dialogue You:Hi Lily, what's the matter with you? You look sad. Lily:I have a stomachache. You:Oh no! You should go to the nurse's office. You shouldn't eat anything for a while. Lily:Thanks for your advice. Now it's your turn! Practice with a partner. 1.7.2013 Now it's your turn to practice. Work with a partner. One of you is the sick person, and the other is the friend giving advice. Use the sentences we've learned. ‹#› 04 语法聚焦 Grammar Focus 1.7.2013 Well done with the role-play! Now, let's focus on some grammar. In this section, we'll learn about reflexive pronouns. ‹#› Reflexive Pronouns Subject Pronoun Reflexive Pronoun I myself you (singular) yourself he himself she herself it itself we ourselves you (plural) yourselves they themselves Definition:Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same person or thing. 1.7.2013 Reflexive pronouns are words like myself, yourself, himself, etc. We use them when the subject does an action to himself or herself. ‹#› Using Reflexive Pronouns (1) As Object Reflexive pronouns can be used as the object of a verb. He hurt himselfwhen he fell off the bike. (Subject: He, Object: himself) We enjoyed ourselvesat the party. (Subject: We, Object: ourselves) She taught herselfEnglish. (Subject: She, Object: herself) 1.7.2013 One common use of reflexive pronouns is as the object of a verb. This shows that the action affects the subject. For example, "He hurt himself" means he did the action of hurting to himself. ‹#› Using Reflexive Pronouns (2) For Emphasis Reflexive pronouns can also be used to emphasize the subject. I myself made this cake. (Emphasizes that I made it, not someone else) They themselves solved the problem. (Emphasizes that they solved it, not someone else) She wants to do it by herself. (Emphasizes that she wants to do it alone) 1.7.2013 Reflexive pronouns can also be used to add emphasis. When you say "I myself made this cake", you are emphasizing that you did it personally, without any help. ‹#› 05 课文导读 Text Guide 1.7.2013 Now, let's prepare to read the text in Section B. This guide will help you understand the story better. ‹#› Before You Read Think about these questions before you read the text. Have you ever had an accident while cooking? What happened? What should you do if you burn yourself? What should you do if you cut yourself? Why is it important to be careful in the kitchen? Prediction:Look at the picture in the text. What do you think the story is about? 1.7.2013 Before we read, let's think about some questions related to cooking safety. Have you ever had a small accident in the kitchen? What did you do?

How did she burn herself? What did she do first after the accident? What did her mother tell her to do? What did the doctor say? Underline:Any new words or phrases you don't understand.

I'm sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life.

He mentions that this organization helps disabled people, and because of Miss Li's donation, he was able to get a special dog named Lucky. ‹#› Reading: Paragraph 2 What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can't walk or use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I can't use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the phone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. Exploring the Text Together 1.7.2013 In the second paragraph, the writer asks us to imagine what life would be like if we were blind, deaf, or couldn't use our arms or legs.
