Reflection

Advantages：

1. The lesson is divided into five parts, which will help students learn the words, phrases and sentences step by step. This arrangement helps the students keep up an optimistic attitude in class. 2. Students are interested in the contests, so everyone plays an active part in it. 3. Students can use the words and phrases that they have learned in the group discussion to express their point of view.

Disadvantages：

Some students think it quite difficult to express their ideas freely, so they may feel nervous and make some mistakes while doing exercises.
