Set in Kings Cross, London, this video includes interviews with Londoners talking about being ill.
If you’re teaching general English, you can use this video alongside the Everyday life lesson Common cold.
We’ve put together a video for you to use as part of an illness-themed lesson. Get your students’ attention by playing the video as a warmer, and then after a few comprehension questions, ask your students to discuss the same questions in pairs or small groups.
Below, you can find an editable transcript and worksheet with exercises to use with your class along with the video to download and use offline.
For further ideas for how you can use these videos, have a look at the Live from London lesson ideas page.
