The language focus is on the words and phrases that will help you make an appointment at your local doctor's surgery and speak to your doctor in the UK. Your task is to describe a common illness or injury. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess, too. Enjoy!
