What this lesson trains
Make these key phrases automatic: “Is this medicine safe for children?”, “Will this make me sleepy?”, “What is the correct dose?”, “What should I do if I miss a dose?”.
Grammar in focus: Safety questions with “Can I…?/Should I…?” and “What is the correct…?”
Say this vocabulary clearly: dose, allergies, side effects, empty stomach, expire.
Copy the question intonation on lines like “What should I do if I miss a dose?” so you sound natural, not memorized.
