CONTENT AND LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES MAKE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DIFFERENT ORGANS USING ADJECTIVES. BE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS TO AN EXPERT IN ORDER TO HAVE A DEEPEN UNDERSTANDING. USE PREPOSITION OF PLACE TO LOCATE THE ORGANS WITHIN THE SYSTEMS. THERE IS/THERE ARE… USE LANGUAGE STRUCTURES TO EXPLAIN A PROCESS
