20、ll students have grasped the target language and I have achieved my aims. I think I did well in some aspects. For example, I used the song “Where is the park?”to lead in the lesson. It was not only helpful to arouse students interest, but also helped students to review some key words, phrases and se
21、ntences. On the other hand, I designed different kinds of activities on the basis of the teaching content to help students learn better and develop their abilities, such as “Lets chant”, “Lets draw”, “Lets guess” and so on. However, there are still some aspects I should pay more attention to. One is that I should redesign the blackboard-writing. I should write down the key points on the blackboard and combine them with my teaching. The other is that I should use various positive words to evaluate students and motivate them to be more active in learning.
