The use of group work in the reading process has enhanced students' cooperation ability. However, there are also some areas for improvement. For example, in the discussion part, some students may not be able to fully express their ideas due to limited language ability. In future teaching, more language support should be provided in advance. Also, the time control in some activities can be more precise to ensure that each teaching link is carried out more smoothly. Overall, this class has achieved most of the teaching objectives, but continuous improvement is needed to better meet the learning needs of students. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
