Assessment and reflection:

I dare say I am successful in the Unit in that I give enough information about table manners to the students in the different forms. I let the students prepare enough for the class. I give them much opportunity to practice and express themselves. We act interactively enough. They almost master the words and the expressions and some useful patter s. They learn how to talk about table manners and how to apologize and answer. They like the Unit. They like to get to know different culture. They can nderstand others better and understand themselves better.

In all, I should prepare every Unit fully and I should get as much resource as possible before every Unit. I should try to stimulate the students to participate. I should let them know

what we will learn in next class. And ask the students to master the Unit as a whole. And I should remind them to remember practice and use are the best method to check their study. That is the secret. Remember.
