Section C: Overall ratings of the lesson <include summaries of the objectives and contents of the

The first exercise continues from the previous class, students are reading the text again in order
to be able to find the words that give main ideas about the negative points of hypnotization.

opposite to the ones written on the board. The students give quick answers.

book and decide on which topic they should write.
Some of the students who have finished with the plan of the compositions is a good way to
stimulate students to work on class. Those who havent finished writing task have to finish it for
homework.
Section D: Overall assessment of the quality of the lesson <is this a good lesson, why?>
I think that this is a good lesson because with writing part students can focus more on the
writing skills and this is very important in way that they try to use more words in their target language
and is practicing their writing possibilities.
Section E: Recommendation <how can the efficacy of the lesson be improved?>
I think that teacher should collect their writing comprehension, and point to the mistakes the
students have made, correct their mistakes and in this way students will improve their writing skills
and will pay more attention in the future.
