Ⅲ. The methods of teaching and learning
The aim of learning English is let the students receive some moral education while they are learning. Students in my class will learn how to make a banana milk shake. By making the shake by themselves, we can get a harmonious atmosphere in this class. On one hand, It can stimulate their learning interest. On the other hand, I persist in the communicative teaching method and create many interesting tasks in order to attract students’ attention, set them in a real English environment. They are able to know more about the food culture in western countries.
Ⅳ.The teaching aids
1. The real things which will be used in this lesson, such as bananas, milk, blender and so on.
2. The students’ paper (There are lots of key points and exercises on it)
Ⅴ. The teaching process
1. At the beginning of the class, I’ll find someone to read and translate the key words and key phrases which will be used in this lesson. All the language goals have been written on students’ paper. Then I’ll ask two questions about their favorite fruit and their favorite drink. In this part, students can easily think of many learnt words about fruit and drink. Then I’ll talk about my favorite fruit and drink,

and lead to this lesson.
2. After listening the instruction of making the banana milk shake, the students must remember what the ingredients of making the banana milk shake are. They must focus their minds. Because later I’d like someone to make the banana milk shake for us. And others should tell him/her what to do step by step. This can help students learn to co-operate with each other. Also, they are able to know how to describe the instructions of making the banana milk shake.
3. This is a group work (Six students a group). Because of the instructions are just six steps. The students must remember the instructions step by step. They can take turns reciting sentence by sentence. All the students can make progress in this lesson.
4. Through listening to 2a, review the usage of “how many” and “how much”. In this part, students can easily master the difference between the countable nouns and uncountable nouns. All the new words are included here. Through listening to 2b, students are able to know how to describe the amount.
5. After listening, check their answers and meanwhile write some key points on the blackboard. Then practice “How many+ C s do we need?” and “How much+ U do we need?” Then make conversations according to the information in Part 3(On students’ paper.)
6. In the end, teacher needs to develop students’ emotion as well as abilities.

As we know, in modern society most of the children live an excellent life, but very few know where the life comes from. This part can let them understand how the parents work hard for the children. So when they come back home, they need to make the banana milk shake and fruit salad for their parents and show their great love to them . And as everyone knows, the writing skill is very important. So according to the instructions of making banana milk shake, students should write down the instructions of making the fruit salad. We can not only practice our social skills, but also practice our writing skills.
