Part one Analysis of the teaching material
Ⅰ. Status and function.
This is a transitional lesson of unit 1 in module1. The teaching material of Beijing national university put a considerate part on listening. This lesson talks about relaxing—especially the way of being relaxed. In our daily life, students could not find the most appropriate way to relax themselves.

I think the significance of this lesson is not just reflected in study, but the wisdom of living.

Task-based method.

The main aim of senior high English learning is to develop students’ abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing. So I’ll give students enough time to read and speak. And students will be created an interesting and knowledgeable environment about stress and relaxing. Before listening, I’ll give students some tasks to do. Group work would fully arouse students’ interest. Audio-visual teaching could cause students’ curiosity.
Part three Analysis of students and the way of learning
The students have already learned English for several years, so they have a certain level of English foundation. So they can understand the basic words and sentences during listening. To ensure better result of listening, I’ll provide a reading-guessing-checking way to students. During the class, students would learn not just the content, but the method.
