In Section A, students are supposed to learn how to express personal preferences for animals and use questions led by why, what, where to describe them. Through the study of language and communicative functions, students can master English knowledge in communication and expression. This unit is designed to express the suggested usage of Let's… and Why don't you... sentence patterns. They can understand the importance of protecting animals through learning about the situation of wild animals around the world.

二、学习者特征分析
Students in Grade 7 are in the lower grades of middle school. And their characteristics determine that the design of teaching content should be close to daily life or topics that students are interested in. The topic of this class is animals in a zoo, which students love to hear and are familiar with. I believe that they will be interested in this topic because they are full of illusions and curiosity about everything. Providing that the teaching method is appropriate, it will be easy to mobilize students’ interests in English learning.
