Teachers should combine general guidance and targeted guidance， and conduct whole class introduction and individual guidance. Secondly， the English teacher should ensure Students Self-study Time. Thirdly， the English teacher should lay emphasis on homework guidance by enhancing the fun of the homework， change“I do my homework” into “I want to do my homework” and develop students initiative， enhancing the ability of the students to intake information， expand students information space and let students feel the endless of knowledge， by expanding students perceptual-cognitive channels， enhance students confidence， train students initiative and enable them to form the habits of self-study， by improving students comprehensive ability information integration.

Students only master correct methods， which can form good habits to do homework； secondly， we should strictly require students to complete homework independently， to write neatly， to follow format specification. Teachers should often praise those students who can overcome difficulties and carefully check homework. It can effectively prevent the students from copying others homework. Thirdly， the teacher should pay attention to correcting the students error s in homework.

2.4 The Method of Cultivating to Form the Good Habits of Having class

Teachers should notice to develop the students ability of listening， speaking ， reading ，writing， thinking and asking in the English Class. In class， students should firstly form the habit of listening to teacher and other students in the group. The English teachers should praise for the right opinions， correct the wrong opinions. Secondly， to form the habit of speaking. In the classroom teaching， teacher should pay more attention on the students expression abilitys development and training. Teacher should let those students who are not good at showing themselves on behalf of the group to express their opinions. The teacher can also give them more opportunities to show and let them feel more joy of success. The teacher should require students pronunciation sound to be clear and loud， and speaking completely and be in good logic. At the same time， the teacher should give those students who have answered questions an objective evaluation and timely encourage them. Thirdly， the teacher should cultivate students the habits of reading textbooks. Fourthly， taking good notes in class. Fifthly， to develop the habit of independent thinking. To arrange appropriate time to allow students to conduct self-study and cultivate the good habit of independent thinking. Also let them produce their own ideas on understanding and solving the problem.

The last， let students develop the habit of asking questions. The English teacher should take various forms to guide students to put forward their questions， dare to put forward different opinions and fully express their different views. Teachers should give students chance to suspect when they are teaching a new lesson， a review lesson， a exercise lesson. It can slowly cultivate students habit of asking question.

2.5 The Method of Cultivating to Form the Habits of Reviewing

The advantage of timely review is deepen and consolidate the understanding of the learning content，which can prevent students from the rapid forgetting after study. Hu Zhuanglin said， according to the forgetting curve， after remembering two or three days， the forgetting speed is the fastest and then gradually slow down. So students should timely review the learned knowledge. Students should avoid reviewing the learned content after a long time； otherwise， the learned knowledge will be forgotten depleted， which is equivalent to re-learn and it will greatly reduce the study efficiency. The saying goes， reviewing the old can get new things. In other word， reviewing the learned knowledge can get lots of new harvest.
