5、 knowledge and culture together, and certainly it will arouse the students interest. According to the new standard curriculum and the syllabus, after studying the teaching material and analyzing the rule of childrens growing of mind, I conclude the following teaching aims Second, teaching aims.(教学目标

11、er to achieve our teaching aims, I will adopt the following teaching methods.Part 3 Teaching Methods（教学方法）As is known to us all, a good teaching method requires that the teacher should help Ss develop good sense of the English language. For achieving these teaching aims, (after the analysis of the t
12、eaching material and teaching aims,) I will use the following methods according to the modern social communication teaching theories1.
