教学反思
The aim of this lesson is to improve the students’ abilities of listening and speaking. In order to help the students have a better effect in collecting and using the information, I design some tasks for the students and let them achieve the tasks with the help of the CAI, computer and recording. I try to give the students a real language situation using the modern teaching aids. Let them improve their English from watching, listening, and speaking in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. I think they can communicate with each other easily.
