Teaching Reflection

It’s easy for the students to use the structure of “prefer/be fond of/be interested in/love + doing” after teaching, but it’s hard for them to remember these phrases which are related to the hobbies or outdoor activities. Teachers should think of more ways to practice these phrases.
