Reflection:

Students found it hard to pronounce some names of the places. Students did their previewing work so well that the course could go smoothly within such limited time. Some parts of the blanks was too hard, so I should have given students enough time to correct their answers. As the class time is only 40 minutes, I made students complete most of the exercises before class.There were also other pities, such as time controlling, classroom expressions and the handling of important teaching points. In future classes, I should try to put more emphasis on training students’ reading and summarizing abilities.
