In this class, she takes different themes of discourse reading as the content, relies on the topic of "health", and takes "How to have a healthy lifestyle" as the main line. Through discourse reading, she can master the characteristics of different genres of articles, and select effective reading strategies and methods according to different genres to improve students' thinking quality and reading ability. The introduction of health concepts, such as physical health, mental health, social health, etc., to guide the whole teaching process, to enhance students' comprehensive knowledge and understanding of health. The course is rich in content, clear clues, in-depth explanation, and a strong sense of class participation.

　　With health as the theme, Ms. Xu cultivated students' reading strategies by setting task-based activities, constructing language knowledge and learning ability, and explaining three types of text reading. Through discourse learning, students can understand the characteristics of three different genres and adopt effective reading strategies and skills based on the genres of the articles to better grasp the articles' structure and understand the articles' connotations. In the process of teaching the new course, the question chain is used to arouse students' thinking, so that students' thinking can be transferred; To let the students feel how to solve a small problem and finally solve the big problem learning process.

For future English teaching, we should strive to achieve the following goals: First, we should closely follow the New Curriculum Standards, take the discourse as the key, take the vocabulary as the target, and improve the students' comprehensive language application ability step by step. Second, we should pay attention to the diversity of reading materials and cultivate students' independent reading ability and humanistic quality. Thirdly, cultivate students' logical thinking, carefully design classroom teaching questions, and establish a three-dimensional thinking mode composed of multiple directions, multiple starting points, multiple logical rules, multiple evaluation criteria, and multiple thinking structures in the process of guiding students' thinking, to truly start from the quality of thinking to implement the cultivation of core quality of English discipline.

　　In future teaching activities, the English group of CFLS will face the new era, strengthen the new concept of curriculum reform, carry out teaching exploration around the High School Entrance Examination, deeply study the new curriculum standards, create real and vivid English learning situations, and improve the core quality of students' English subjects.
