The teaching material is the speaking and listening part at unit 2, book 4, go for it with title of “What should I do?”.It mainly concerns with talking about problems and giving advice.In this unit, it’s the first time students know something about the usage modal verb “should”, and the target language “What should I do?”to give advice. Before this unit, the students have learned talking about the matters in unit 1:what’s the matter? Therefore,in this unit, students will learn to talk more about their problems and matters, and learn to give advice.
2.The analysis of students
Students in junior 2 have gained certain amount of vocabulary and language skills.And they are very interested in new knowledge and have strong learning ability, so it’s not difficult for them to understand the text.
Yet most of them are afraid of speaking in front of the class and express their views freely and confidently with their partners. So, they need to be encouraged to communicate more with others in class.

Part 7 Reflection
In the lessen plan, I fully follow the Ss-centered principle and design various activities to improve Ss ’ speaking skills and listening skills. In such way, I want to train Ss ’ability to use English and avoid dumb English.
The group work and competition parts are the highlight of my teaching plan.These two activities can effectively train Ss ’ speaking skill.Besides, it ’s also good to promote their cooperation awareness.
