Thechangeofthefamilypatterns阶段性学习体会总结:开学初期老师给我们讲了什么是开放教育，如何学习开放教育课程。我们对开放教育和开放教育课程有了基本的了解.也对开放英语课程有了比较全面的认识。特别是通过上英语课程，我们不仅仅学习了英语语法知识，也学习到了学习方法。还体会到了开放教育的“自我学习、教师辅导、网络资源、师生互动”的新的学习模式。由于自己的英语底子薄，基础差，所以还不能够完全掌握老师讲的内容。在老师的精心辅导下，我的英语知识有了很快的进步。自己感觉到有重新拾起了英语。心中有了成就感。目前的问题是：我还不能充分地网络资源。这是因为自己的电脑知识不够好，因此不能够和老师、和同学即使地进行网上交流。开放英语（3）作业1（Units1~6）本作业由四部分组成,第一部分：交际用语；第二部分：英语知识运用；第三部分：阅读理解;第四部分：写作。建议在90分钟内完成做作业。写作部分要求用笔写在给定的位置。每次作业满分100分。第一部分:交际用语(每题2分,共10分)一、阅读下面的小对话，从A,B,C,D四个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项。1.MayIhelpyou,madam?
