After having the class, most students know the key words and expressions about making an appointment and seeing a doctor. They can use some taught expressions in the role play. But in fact, they just simply imitate the sentence structure. If without the screen show, some of them can not make up the dialogue in a real situation fluently and successfully. In my future teaching, I should do more to arouse students’ interests in learning English, improve their speaking ability and enlarge their vocabularies.
