 Teaching Reflection　【教学反思】

　　　In the first period，we can tell the students the topic of this unit is “cooking”．The teacher should also introduce the unit goal—describing a process and following instructions.The teacher can bring some ingredients and a blender to the class.It can arouse the students' interest in making banana milk shake.And they can accurately use the imperative sentences in the target language to express action instructions when making milk shake in class.And they can learn to describe the process of making a certain food in order，and then have a free dialogue with partners on how to make a kind of food.Since it's the first period，listening and speaking are the most important.We can get the students to make their own conversations by using what they have learned.
