Reflection These teaching activities can lead students to go through the progress from learning and understanding to applying and practicing and then to transferring and creating, which is conducive to their development in language ability, thinking ability and learning ability. However, there are still something need to be improved: 1. The lead-in part of lesson is not interesting enough; 2. The situations created in activities are not very authentic and close to their life, so some students’ enthusiasm in learning may can’t be arose; 3. Words are not paid much attention in this teaching design, so some students may feel it difficult to make conversation by themselves.
