(Allow the students a few minutes to finish the writing practice.If time limits,allow the students to finish it after class.) Sample writing:
I like reading aloud very much.I enjoy reading all kinds of stories.When listening to tapes,teachers or classmates,I pay much attention to the intonation.I find I can remember things quickly through listening.Besides,I’d prefer to listen to the teacher’s explanation to help me learn a new concept.So,I think I’m a learner learning through listening.
I enjoy reading and listening to English.I think this is good for my study,because reading and listening to English can help me remember many useful expressions and sentence patterns and also improve my listening ability and my pronunciation.However,it’s not good for my writing.I often make spelling mistakes when writing a passage.I think I should do more writing practice
