Unit 3

Breaking bad news...First of all,Miss Dilla asked us to make a group.In the group,we brainstormed as many words as possible related to pain.We got words such as ill,operation,tense,fatal,disease and others.After that,we matched columns about features of pain,the main question and the follow up questions.We also classified the words in the box to the correct columns about the intensity of pain whether severe or mild and the character of pain.Some of the words were blunt,stabbing,dull and intense.Then,we arranged the sentences using the word order that were intensity,character,location and duration.For example,The patient has dull aching pain in his back that has lasted for three weeks.We heard the disk and guessed whether the sentence were supporting tone or accusing tone.The communication tip said that it is not what you say,it is how you say it.We practised to use the supporting tone and accusing tone using the same sentence in the group.Phrasal verbs was better than equivalent verbs when speaking with the patients as that were more informal.The example for the words, get over,give up,keep on and hold out.Besides that, we learned question tags can be either confirmation or question.The class ended.....Wassalam.
