ysis of students
Now I am in a rural junior high school,students have less English classes in their primary school, so their English basis is not good. Some students are not interested in English and do not like to answer questions. But they are curious about the world and study so hard that they want to get praise.
So in my teaching, I like to make them be interested in English and teach them from easy to difficult, step by step and I will make them join the activities and give them chance to speak English.

VII. Reflection.
The class did not achieve the desired effect, the students’attitude is very positive, but the understanding of the present progressive tense is not particularly thorough and I did not really create situation, so some students are not so active and this is the last class in the morning, they are a little tired. And on the other hand, I think the whole class is a little fast, some students can not keep up. There is no specific combination of the situation of students. I should work harder to study the students and textbooks in the following time.
