They’ve got none. To involve every student in calss activities, I need to design more tasks of various form and difficult levels. In future, I should offer more help to the low-level students so that they can experience more feelings of success and achievment. Though it is necessary to consolidate new knowledge and skills through oral practice, more practice in written forms is still needed. After all, reading and writing are also means of communication. They should set up a sound foundation for future learning. 获2008年沈阳市第一届教师基本功大赛（初中英语）一等奖
