Class Activity : Play a version of Simon Says to practice the new vocabulary.

First, the teacher goes over all the body parts with pictures to ensure that everyone knows the body parts. Then, the class can play Simon Says. If the teacher says, Simon says, touch your knees, the students must touch their knees. But, if the teacher simply says, Touch your knees. the students must not follow touch that part. The students can also be the leaders. Once the students feel comfortable, the leader can speed up the commands.

Class Activity: Feeling Charades. Prepare a set

of cards with the entire feeling vocabulary on them. Then students, one by one, select a card and act out their cards in front of the class. Variation: The students can try to describe the feeling without using its name. Another variation to this activity is to cut out pictures from magazines and have the students describe the feeling they get from the pictures. Finally, you can use music in the classroom to evoke emotions or feeling. Have the students listen to a selection of different types of music. Then have them describe how the music makes them feel. You can also discuss climate and how it affects peoples moods.

Reading Comprehension :Health Insurance in the United States and in Canada In the United States, there is no national health insurance except MEDICARE. However, this is restricted to senior citizens (62+ for women and 65+ for men) Medicare is federally funded. It is a system of paying for all medical services and supplies. The patient chooses his/her doctor and the hospital, if necessary, and the government will pay for it. Most people have some form of health insurance which is provided by either their companies or contracted privately. Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the biggest insurance companies in the United States. There is also Social Security, which is a type of national pension plan for workers who retire after making contributions for their entire

working life. In Canada, the system is entirely different. There is universal health care which means that every citizen is provided with medical insurance. Each province has a different name for it. For example, in Ontario its called OHIP which stands for Ontario Health Insurance Plan. Each province manages their fund. Most services are covered under this insurance. In other words, hospital bills, visits to the doctor, some specialists etc... Are covered under this plan. However things like cosmetic or plastic surgery not deemed necessary for the individuals health is not. The Canadian Pension Plan, or in Quebec, The Quebec Pension Plan, provides monthly income for retirees who have paid into the plan their whole working life much like the Social Security in the United States. You must be 65 years old or over to be eligible.

Grammar Tip : Some and Any

In general we use some in positive sentences and any in negative sentences ( or when the meaning is negative). Ex. Peter gave some information to the police. Peter didnt give any information to the police. He refused to give any information to the police. In questions we usually use any instead of some. Ex. Do you have any money ? NOT Do you have some money ? BUT when we expect the answer to be yes, we can use some. Ex. Whats wrong with the bill ? Is there some mistake ? When we offer something to someone, or ask for something, we can use some in the question. Ex. Would you like some coffee ? Can I have some paper ? Any can also be used when the person doesnt care who/what/where etc... Ex. Where can I cash this traveler check ? Any bank will cash it. Where would you like to go for dinner ? Anywhere is fine. Some + body/one = some person Some + where = some place Some + thing = some thing/ object These are all singular. Ex. Somebody loves you. Any + body/one = any person Any + where = any place Any + thing = any thing/object Is anyone here ?

Exercises :Fill in the blanks using some/any/something/anywhere/anyone/someone 1. I want to going to the store to buy ___________ bread. 2. My sister is getting married next month.

When she called 911 she spoke to a waiter who said they would be right over with the fire truck. Raymond called his wife and she came to the restaurant. When she arrived he was breathing heavily and his face was black. Jennifer, his wife, could feel the sirens from the taxi coming to the house when Raymond stopped breathing. She began to give herself ear to ear resuscitation. The ambulance arrived in about 3 hours. They rushed into the washroom and continue to get him mouth to mouth until they were able to get the heart going again. Then, they putted Raymond on hydrogen. He were carried out of the ambulance and into the street. They took him to McDonald`s for a Big Mac and he felt much better the next morning.

In English, we use the present perfect when we talk about an action in the past that is connection with the present. The action itself may have finished but the time period has not. This is an extremely important verb tense in English. Study the chart below and the examples.

Present Perfect

Construction Verb to have in the presenthave has

Past participle of the main verbbeen seen

Example sentenceI have been sick for a week. She has seen three different specialists about the problem. My sister has gone to the hospital for the delivery. Carol has treated over 100 patients this year. My doctor has given me a prescription for birth control pills.

have has have

gone treated given

There are many circumstances when you need the present perfect. Here are some:

When we use ever (question) or never (negative). Because it indicates When we say This is the first /second

sometime in your lifetime which is a period that started in the past and continues up to this moment. Ex. I have never been to Canada. or Have you ever seen an elephant ? etc.. time ..... Because we are talk about the number of times we have done something in our lifetime, again this is an open time period. Ex. This is the first time I have driven a truck. or Its the second time I have taken an English course. something has happened before it was expected and yet which is used in questions and negative sentences only. It is the opposite of already. Ex. I have just eaten a huge breakfast.

We use the present perfect with just (a short time ago) , already to indicate that

Have you read todays newspaper ? Have you spoken to your boss yet?

Yes, Ive already read it. No, I havent spoken to him yet.

We also use the present perfect with all periods of time that are not finished.Ex. This year/this month/this season/this week/this morning/this afternoon/ this evening/ today What have you done today ? When we want to say how much we have done, how many things we have done, or how many times we have done something, we use present perfect. Ex. I have written 10 postcard this week. My husband has played golf 4 times this month.
