Reflection During learning and understanding, brainstorming effectively activate students’ previous scheme and stimulate their interests. The explanation and analysis of the dialogue are deeply in-depth. And teacher focuses on the cultivation of students’ listening abilities and strategies. Meanwhile, teacher provides as many opportunities as possible for students to express themselves and practice their language expression ability. Finally, teacher pays attention to cultivating students' ability to apply what they learn, focuses on the combination of learning and application, learning and creation. Teacher pays attention to guide students to form positive and healthy values, fully reflect the value of English education, highlight the student-centered concept. However, there still have some deficiencies. The transition from first objective to second one is unnatural. Teacher seldom explains simple past tense in this lesson.
