The teaching objects are students who just stepped into grade eight. They are very creative and curious but kind of shy. Just as an old saying goes, well beginning is half done. Therefore, colorful teaching activities should be taken to stimulate students’ reading interest to study, and at the same time, learning difficulty is supposed to reduce to enhance students confidence of studying English.
本课进行的较为流畅，通过本课的学习，学生了解很多马来的风俗文化，进一步加强了对一般过去时态的理解，并能知晓该从时间、地点、人物、天气、活动、食物和感受等几个方面来进行日记的写作。
课堂上，学生讨论热烈，回答积极，充分发挥了学生的主动性、积极性、创造性，与此同时，还最大限度的提升了他们小组合作学习的能力；提升了他们的英语阅读能力，解决分析问题的能力。此外，还加强了学生间的情感交流，懂得在学习上互帮互助，并且培养了学生热爱大自然、亲近大自然的情感。
在今后的教学中，还应对阅读技巧和策略方面，给予学生一些帮助和有益的提示，提升阅读水平，增加阅读兴趣。
