With the aid of the multimedia, the class inspires students within the 45 minites. From the general command of the whole text to separate understanding of each type of poem, to the competition of writing poems, students are trained in the reading skills in different ways.2. The teacher of this class created many questions to attract students ’ attention in order to make the learning more lively and illuminating.3. The timely and active interaction between the teacher and students give an immediate response and assessment of the students ’ learning process. The teacher ’s to-the-point comments on students ’ performance during the class make them more confident such as the comment “Well done! You have given some reasonable opinions. I would like to have some other opinions” etc.4. Through step-by-step reading —the general cognition, fast reading, carefulreading and summarizing, the class demonstrates the effectiveness of the task-based Poemsrepetition Poetimageryli n ev e r s eteaching method. Abiding by the students’ psychology, the teacher take different measures to make them concentrated on the teaching process. For example, the teacher keeps students concentrated on what they will learn by making them tap the rhythm of the nursery rhyme “twinkle, twinkle ,little star”, which are familiar to students, meanwhile the teacher makes them absorbed in what they have covered in the reading text by group competition to write some poems.5. By creatively combing the teaching materials, such as matching each part of the text with different design of questions, the teacher makes full use of the materials.However, some problems also remains to be desired as follows:1. How to motivate some students who just sit by and watch others perform and discuss to actively participate in the class discussion remains to be dealt with in the future.2. How to make the class student-centered is also a big headache. While preparing the class, teachers should take into account students’ original knowledge, interest, ways of imitation, cooperation etc. How to make the class effective and efficient, or in other words, how to maximize the class effectiveness deserves teachers’ study and research in the future.。
