点评：本堂课在精心策划下，力求突出本课的重点，解决难点问题，先有词汇方面的铺垫，一方面复习上堂课中的部分单词，另一方面解决接下来将要进行的听说活动中的部分生词，使学生在接受本堂课重要任务之前做好热身。在个别课堂教学步骤中，如果能够再做一些调整，效果可能会更好。（例如：“Learning to learn”可以放在“Pronunciation”之前进行，这样，可以为学生在头脑中建立一个较明确的学习目的，使学生的目的性更强。再例如，“Listening and vocabulary”可以放在“Function and Speaking”之前进行。一方面，在强调注重听说中单词的重音后，引入听力练习，衔接到写，而且借此机会可让学生在具体的听力练习中体会单词的重读，另一方面，“Function and Speaking”中内容基于听力练习的部分内容，可为说的练习，提供一定的情景，但对于听力能力较差的学生来说，本教案中的安排比较合适。）
