Some students were still confused about the differences between “either” and “neither” in this class, so the comparative explanation should be strengthened.

The time control in the story - telling part was poor, making the following content rushed.In the next teaching session, I will strengthen the comparison of easily confused points and design diversified exercises, such as group competitions. And I will arrange the time reasonably to enable students to fully participate in story creation and master the usage of indefinite pronouns better.

In this period, when I asked students to talk about their sports experiences, some of them didn't want to join.

(2)马可·波罗(Marco Polo)是意大利旅行家、商人。其代表作《马可·波罗游记》记述了他在中国的所见所闻，在欧洲流传甚广，激起了欧洲人对东方的向往，对新航路的开辟产生了巨大的影响。

Teaching reflection　【教学反思】
This lesson has both good and bad points.The good part is that the reading material was interesting. Students liked the history of ice-cream and other content. They understood well, which helped with writing. The class was lively. During group talks about similar dishes in different cultures, students were active and understood that food connects cultures.But some students had writing problems. They didn't know how to describe food across borders. They also made many spelling and grammar mistakes. This means I didn't guide writing well and didn't think enough about weak students.To improve that, next time I'll add a step to guide writing ideas. I'll give more examples and frameworks. Also, I'll make students practice words and grammar more to help them write better and do reading - writing tasks better.

In this class, I used different ways to lead in the topic. For example, I shared my food stories, showed food videos and pictures, and we also did role -playing. These ways got the students' attention and made them interested in the theme. From what I saw in class, the students took part in the discussions actively. Their eyes showed they were excited to explore their favorite foods. This made a good environment for the project later.
