Teaching Reflection　【教学反思】
　　　In this period，reading practice is important.We learn a lot of new words and expressions while we are reading.The students must pay enough attention to the new words in 3a as well as they finish the task.It is a good idea to ask them write down the useful phrases in the reading materials.They can learn from these models and copy them when writing their own articles.
We always learn grammar when we have enough language knowledge.When dealing with grammar，we can get the students to conclude or sum up what they have learned in this unit and then learn the structure and the pattern drills.After they learn the main structure in the grammar focus frame，the students should practice in different activities.And we'd better give them some written work after speaking and reading.

　　　In this period，the learning contents expand from talking about past appearance and personality to talking about likes and dislikes in former time.So students practice many other words in listening and speaking.The topic is still about their life in school.They will improve their capacity of language organization and oral output while listening and speaking practice.As usual，we can give them some written work to do after they practice listening and speaking.
We can give the work to use “get used to” and “used to” in order to get the students to compare the differences between the two phrases.21*cnjy*com
