- Context: patient safety advice.
- Task type: functional communication.

3. Grammar and examples
A2 learners must connect grammar with the exact topic, the lesson vocabulary and the practice scenario.
- Use if + symptom, seek help.
- Use must/should carefully.
- Avoid vague reassurance.
- Example: We will review you tomorrow.
4. Practice plan
Practice follows the same sequence as open language textbooks: demonstration, vocabulary, controlled practice, grammar, then independent production.

- Use role-play or recording to train speaking.
- Finish with one written answer and one self-check against the lesson goal.
