Health

Teach 12 health idioms that people use every day: under the weather, call in sick, on the mend, up and about. A thought-provoking quote starts the discussion, then a phone-call listening sets the scene. Students match, fill in, and choose the right idiom in context, then use them in a pair speaking task. Online quizzes and an answer key are included.
