本节阅读课以smoking为话题，通过谈论人们最关心的吸烟问题，了解吸烟上瘾的原因，吸烟的危害及怎样戒烟；并学会如何就吸烟问题给别人提供一些建议；功能句式要求学生学会如何表达给予别人提出建议。
本课的亮点：一、通过图片导入，对学生心灵有个比较明显且深刻的震撼，让学生感受非常深刻，同时通过教学过程里的学习，学生能很投入，很自觉地去运用英语。同时感觉比较深的就是所选教学材料要有知识性且贴近学生生活的东西。
二、本节课中，学生主体，学生自主学习与小组合作学习相结合，激发学生的学习积极性；教师只起引导作用，帮助学生形成正确的思维方式，为可能出现的问题提供解答。
针对这个班级实际情况，这节课取得的教学效果还是不错的。
然而从学生的反馈情况看，这节课还有很多需要改进的地方：
1.部分学生不了解快速阅读与精读的区别，要求快速阅读以获取文章及段落主旨大意时仍然从文章开始细读。平时阅读课要不断强调阅读技巧的运用。
2.课堂导入部分，吸烟的危害，若加以视频展示，会使学生印象更加深刻，导入效果会更好。
总之，高效课堂需要我们教师积极探索，大胆实践，探索出更加高效的课堂教学.
