3、y third year at anqing tv university and i am now ready for my final assault，that is, to launch my practical project design- but for quite a long time, 1 was still stuck on the ground. 1 didn" t know what to do and what kind of problem 1 should sort out from my teaching experienee. so t went to

4、 talk with my tutor, mr. qu ping. he helped me think of a problem which has been puzzling me for a long time in my english teaching. my problem was that my students didn t quite like doing tasks and activities in or after class. it seemed researchable and suitable. so he told me that i should design

9、 mentioned six scientific methods which were very useful and important to my problem. i decided to use three of them, the analysis method, the cause analysis, and brainstorming to analyze my problem.the analytic method:the phrase “some of” in 'some of my students do not like doing the tasks and

10、activities' made me think of the other side of the issue: some of my students do like doing tasks and activitics. this, in turn, made me think of these: why some don" t, while others do? who are some that don" t? and who are the others that do?moreover, "my students” is in contras
