亮点：
1. 本课的导入。利用学生比较熟悉的学习方式图片导入既能让学生很快地理解图片及目标语言又能顺利的进入新课。
2.本课时是听说课。每完成一个听力任务之前，老师都先呈现该听力的语境及听的技巧，为接下来的听做好准备。所以注重了学生的听力和表演技能的培养，少部分的内容训练了他们的笔头能力。
3.在听后活动中，通过让学生表演对话、补全对话等活动来培养学生的口头表达能力，注重内化和输出相结合。
4. 家庭作业分层布置，让学习能力强的同学做更能体现他们高水平的作业。
不足之处：
.本节课容量大，个别环节时间较短。如翻译探究环节，小组讨论不充分，教师点拨不够精细。
使用建议：
1.教师提前让学生做好充分的预习，包括对听力材料的预习和2d的背诵。教师课前要准备充分的图片，对本节课语言目标的教学起到很好的辅助作用。
2.学生使用“翻译探究”时可以和答案同时使用，帮助自学、探究、发现和归纳，学生个人学不懂时可以以小组形式互助,若还不会,老师再讲解,这是先学后教,以学定教。“翻译探究”的题目数量因学情而定。
