Generally speaking, it’s due to the negative traditional teaching methods for reading which are often teacher-centered, not on students themselves. There aren’t

various activities aimed to get students involved into the class. Consequently, students may lose their interest in learning English. (2) Students in senior high schools are inclined to focus more on the identity between peers rather than the praise from teachers. Accordingly, teachers should add more activities into class to promote the cooperative study and inquiry learning which are able to increase the identity between peers. (3)Most students are not familiar with topic of the article---plants
