Vocabulary Topic - Health

This month we’re going to be looking at language related to health. This will include:
  • parts of the body
  • health problems
  • health collocations
  • language used at the doctors
  • cures and treatments
We will be posting lots of fun language exercises and quizzes to test your knowledge of English on this topic, not forgetting a great story-writing competition in which you could win a free English for Health online course!! More details on that later this week!
First of all, here’s a little vocabulary teaser for you. Do you know when to use the word‘pain’ and when to use ‘ache’?
For example, when your head is hurting do you say, I’ve got a headache or a head pain?
That’s right! It’s headache. Remember, ‘ache’ has the same pronunciation as ‘cake’ or ‘make’.
So here’s a more difficult question for you. All of the following body parts can be used with ‘ache’ but one can only be used with ‘pain’. Which one is it?
  • ear
  • stomach
  • chest
  • tooth
  • back
