Besides, students can further realize how to write and improve the article by tasting others’ descriptions. Moreover, students can form the habit and even arouse their awareness of vivid representation by selection of words, phrases and sentence patterns.

Reflection The discussion mode has enabled more students to get involved in the topic. Moreover, task based teaching approach has encouraged students to describe their own android in both spoken and written English. What’s more, by means of assessing articles and with the help of the writing tips, students’ awareness to select appropriate eye-catching words, sentence patterns and linking words has been raised. And their writing ability has improved. It is a pity that I did not know the classroom without installing a projector until I was given the lesson, which affected the process of students’ displaying their articles. With it, more articles and pictures would have been displayed.
