Such a topic is related tightly to their daily life and can raise effectively their learning interests. So learning it well can improve their listening ability and spoken English.Part two: Analysis of the studentsAs we all know, students of junior high school have learned English for several years and have mastered a certain number of vocabularies. Whats more, they have formed some scientific learning methods and learning habits. However, they are poor in learning English; especially they are afraid to speak English in public occasion. So the teachers should try their best to guide and encourage the students to speak English loudly in class. （So the teacher should pay attention to that when she designs the lesson.）Part three: Teaching aims and demands1.
