Course: Pilar Polo - As Pontes - IN-B2.2-SEMI - Blended Learning, Section: Module 4. Sleep and health/3 December-13 January

Main course page

B2 Competence aims:
Understand standard spoken language, live or broadcast, on both familiar and unfamiliar topics normally encountered in personal, social, academic or vocational life as well as a broad active reading vocabulary, but may experience some difficulty with low-frequency idioms.

Produce and co-produce clear detailed texts on a wide range of general, academic, vocational or leisure topics, marking clearly the relationships between ideas and explaining advantages and disadvantages with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers possible without strain.

Mediate detailed information and arguments reliably, e.g. the significant point(s) contained in complex but well-structured, texts within their fields of professional, academic and personal interest.

Module 4. Sleep and health/3 December-13 January
In this module, we are going to deal with the topic of sleep and health. We will revise vocabulary about medical problems and talk about how much you know about first aid. Then, we will move on to discuss what hypochondriacs and cyberchondriacs are and we'll write an informal email giving advice to deal with these issues.

At the end of this module, you will be able to talk about the importance of sleep on our health as well as exchange information about sleep disorders and how to give tips to improve sleep routines. You will write a clear summary to mediate a written text.
