Teaching Reflection This is the first period of the unit.During this period, teachers interact with students through high-density questions according to the topic picture in 1a, which is helpful for students to learn new vocabulary, and also help students review the language content they have learned. Teachers' questions can play a good demonstration role for students in pronunciation, intonation, expression and sentence making. At the same time, they can quickly activate the relevant schemata in students' brain and enter the state of language learning. Therefore, teachers should make effective use of the topic picture and improve their questioning skills.
