Read the【Case Reflection】in this section and answer the following questions:
Mr H has found the reading exercises in textbooks are beyond his students' ability, so he decides to rearrange the teaching materials by himself — he uses audio and visual aids in pre-reading activities; he designs comprehension questions according to the reading texts; and he arranges discussion for post-reading activities.
