1. Our English teacher says that British English is different ______ American English.

　　　 A. from　　　　　 B. with　　　　　 C. to

与以前我所上的英语课相比，从课上的情况和课后的反馈结果来看，应该说这节课是非常成功的。之所以说它是成功的，我想，这节课才是一节名副其实的语言实践课、活动课。学生的主体作用得到了淋漓尽致的发挥。在真实的情境中，学生的兴趣被大大地激发。他们在学中动、在动中学。因而，在这种富有情趣的、真实的交际中，他们主动愉快地接受了信息，加工了信息，交流了信息。通过这节成功的英语课，我越来越深地感悟到必须让学生成为课堂上的主力军，在活跃的教学情境中，学生们才能最大限度的发挥潜能，不受限制地发挥想象力，创造性地运用语言。当然，这节课也有令人遗憾的地方，比如说时间掌握得不好， 以至于出现了拖堂布置作业的情况，不过，瑕不掩瑜。从下学生们表现的前所未有的高昂情绪中，我还是悟出了英语教学的真谛。
