Reflection
This class is the first class of this term and the topic is about vacation. So I start the class with a small flash about the place I went this summer. And make a competition among the students. The students are very active and interest in this class.
But some students are also a little shy and can not express themselves very well. So I will let the shy students to speak more in the future.
