Ⅸ. Rethinking
To face the Oxford English, students should be masters from activities. We should pay more attention to practice students’ survival English. From communicating between teachers and students, students’ ability of language using and creation spirit can get further development. So I design my class in this way to improve the students’ comprehensive ability.
