By My Teacher · August 17, 2026 · 3 min read

Unit 3 of Ticket to English covers Health & Welfare — a genuinely practical topic, paired with two grammar points that pull in different directions: the present perfect for connecting past and present, and modals of deduction for making educated guesses. Below are all 9 free, ready-to-teach lesson plans covering the full unit.

All nine are free to download, aligned with the 1st Bac Standards-Based Approach.

What’s Included

Lesson 1: Starting Up — Health Tips & Habits

A warm-up lesson introducing the unit’s theme through students’ own everyday health habits.

Lesson 2: Reading — Keep Healthy: Exercising, Diet, Body Awareness

A reading passage covering three practical dimensions of staying healthy.

Lesson 3: Vocabulary — Illnesses & Medical Specialists

The vocabulary bank for naming common illnesses and the medical professionals who treat them.

Lesson 4: Listening — Joining the Gym

Listening practice built around a genuinely common real-life scenario.

Lesson 5: Functions — Seeking & Giving Advice

A practical communication skill directly connected to the unit’s health theme, and tested in the exam’s language section.

Lesson 6: Grammar — Present Perfect Tense

A full lesson on the present perfect, one of the tenses students most often confuse with the simple past.

Lesson 7: Grammar — Modals of Deduction (must, can’t, may)

A second, genuinely distinct grammar point — using modals to express how certain we are about something.

Lesson 8: Writing — Informal Letter Asking for Advice

A writing task that puts Lesson 5’s advice-seeking language directly to use in a real letter format.

Lesson 9: Learning to Learn / Culture & Fun — Classroom Language & Obesity

A closing lesson combining useful classroom English with a real, relevant health topic.

Two grammar points, two different skills

Present perfect and modals of deduction don’t build on each other — they’re genuinely separate skills bundled into one unit, which is worth teaching students explicitly so they don’t expect one to lead naturally into the other.

How to Use These in Class

Contrast the present perfect with the simple past directly

Since this confusion is so common, a few side-by-side examples early in Lesson 6 (“I have visited the doctor” vs. “I visited the doctor yesterday”) prevents the distinction from getting muddled later.

Use real symptoms for modals of deduction practice

“She’s coughing — she must have a cold” type sentences, built around genuine symptoms from Lesson 3’s vocabulary, make Lesson 7’s grammar feel purposeful rather than abstract.

Let seeking advice lead into the letter

Teaching Lesson 5’s advice-seeking language shortly before Lesson 8’s writing task means students already have the phrases they need, rather than starting the letter from nothing.
