This class adopted various teaching methods, such as task-based teaching, problem-oriented teaching, and situational teaching methods, to stimulate students' interest in learning and enhance their participation. Students were able to think actively, discuss and share, achieving the expected teaching goals. 2. During the teaching process, it was found that students were very interested in the historical and cultural connotations of tai chi. By guiding students to deeply analyze the text, the students' cross-cultural understanding ability was cultivated. However, in terms of time arrangement, the writing part might be a bit tight. Some students failed to fully complete the writing tasks and need to adjust the time reasonably in future teaching. 3. When students were discussing "how to maintain a balance between study and life", they put forward many valuable viewpoints, which demonstrated their thinking ability and concern for their own lives. This part of the content helps students connect the knowledge they have learned with real life and improves their application ability. 4. The blackboard design is simple and clear, highlighting the key points, which is helpful for students to sort out knowledge. However, in future teaching, the blackboard writing can be further optimized and some visual elements can be added to enhance its appeal. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
