 Teaching Reflection　【教学反思】

　　　This is the first period of the unit.The most important thing is to get the students to learn and practice making inference.We use real things to help practice speaking and make language situation for the students to learn and practice the target languages.We'd better teach new words and structures while listening，speaking and reading.We should learn the modal verbs by comparing them and getting the students to say them out.
