Due to some reasons, for example, they have few opportunities to the knowledge of English, read limited English materials and differ from each other in learning methods. Though some of them have made many efforts in learning, English language performance is still poor. Under this circumstance, they are likely to doubt their ability in learning English and to weaken self-confidence.
