She says it is a good way to remember everything. Then every one of us has a notebook. When we meet problems we can’t figure out（解决） by ourselves, We always write them down in our notebooks.
In class, we sit in groups to discuss the problems freely. The teacher always offers help when we need. After discussion, it is time for us to give a report to the class. We also make conversations in pairs and practise a lot. It is really good for our listening and speaking.
