Part 2 The Analysis of Students
Students have initially mastered the reading skill of skimming and recognizing the text types, but they still have difficulty in logically predicting the contents.
Most of the students can fully catch the textual information and answer some questions set according to this, but they are still lacking in the ability to analyze some specific information, and form their own insights, and in the meanwhile correctly express themselves orally and literally.
As teenagers, they are developing their own personalities, which makes them in need of specific models from whom they can learn something positive.

Part 7 Teaching Refection
some students still struggled with expressing ideas using comparatively complex sentence structures precisely and fluently in English.
Some students seemed to be ignored while some individual students are asked to answer the questions or make the presentation, and more students should have been asked to share their ideas about the discussion due to the limited time.
In future teaching, more targeted language support and abundant practice opportunities should be provided to students.
while most students understood the surface meaning of the text, more guidance should be given when digging deeper into the cultural and ideological aspects.
