I guess I succeeded this time.  All the aims of my plan were achieved. I tried to involve all the students and actually they were involved. Of course, some students still were talking and disturbing but anyway I managed to maintain better discipline this time. The most obviuos thing is that I am starting to get used to speaking louder. This means I had better command of voice. I tried to be as clear as I could. Moreover, I explained all the tasks, I set the objectives and tried to achieve them. Least but not last, I managed to create a friendly atmosphrere and to keep it till the end of the lesson. Finally, I ended the lesson by questions like what the students have learnd and if they have learnt something new and interesting.
