Are you always a picture of health when you wake up in the morning?

That was one of the questions you had to ask each other in class today and probably the type of questions which make people smile. Well, at least that’s what happens to me when I think about the way I look first in the morning. Besides, I suppose that in this context we might well add: …and the older, the worse; so I mustn’t complain since I’m older than most of you, my dear students.

Anyway, here you have some links to practise more on the topic of health:

After all these activities on the topic of health, I hope you’re neither feeling nor being sick, but you’re still in good shape for the next lesson.
