According to the current distribution programs, English 7 has 03 periods per week, almost periods have new words in lessons and even in exercise book. But in order to teach vocabulary well, make lessons more vivid, teachers must draw pictures, make teaching aids to illustrate, enable them to remember words easily and attract the attention of the children on the theme or focus lessons.

Regarding the distribution of periods within a week, sometimes two adjacent days, children have to learn English, to download a large number of vocabularies. This will inevitably cause psychological overload for some students, affect a lot to the next class.
