By applying task-based teaching and situational teaching and adopting various vivid methods, I can hold the students’ interest and attention, obtaining unexpected results. In order to raise class efficiency and solve teaching difficulties in the lesson, I intersperse many forms, such as asking questions, analyzing characters, video viewing and mind mapping. In the process, many activities are involved, which greatly arouse the students’ enthusiasm and help them appreciate the wisdom of our ancestors. In speaking section, I lead the students to make a dialogue between a Chinese guide and a foreign visitor and introduce Chinese ancient objects. This practice promotes the students’

sense of national pride and arouses their awareness of inheriting Chinese traditional culture.

However, how to create an interesting and thoughtful class requires more exploration. I will carry out more teaching research and adopt more innovative teaching modes to ensure that students of different levels will taste the joy of English learning.
