In this way, they gradually form a kind of passive mentality that they themselves are not aware of. Then naturally a lot of plaint will e and they are dissatisfied with anything. Once the resentment gives rise to their minds, they can hardly get anything from learning. They refuse to study and are not willing to do anything that the teacher asks them. For another reason, they do not have chances to show themselves. Teachers should love them, and respect their rights. Because they do not experience the happiness of success, they lack the positive mentality in study. A famous psychologist once said: small success can give one a sense of success, which will help him a lot. After a period of time in English learning, some students are not interested enough in English gradually, and at last they have not any interest at all. Why?

They do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow. They should be careful to do their homework and listen attentively and be active in class. However, some students do not have good habits. They don’t want to take time to preview their lessons before class and review them after class.
