Unit 6 Life in the futureKEYPOINTS EXAMPLES
Postscript:
1.) Teaching effects and class atmosphere are very good as their interests and enthusiasm have been greatly stimulated.
2.) If I ask students to have more competitions, the effect will be much better. That means we should design some tasks which are suitable for their psychological characters.
3.) Control and distribute the time carefully in each task.
4.) How to further understand texts needs discussion and exploration.
