（一）意识落后，态度不积极
部分学生对英语教育的认识不足，没有认识到英语的重要性，英语学习的主动性较低[1]。这种不积极的态度导致英语教学活动很难得到深入全面地开展，而且部分心理较幼稚的学生甚至会出现对英语的轻视或敌视：英语不是我的母语，无须学习。这是艺术生和普通学生都会出现的问题，而在艺术生中这一问题会因为各种因素出现的频率更高。另外，艺术生一般心理较崇尚自由，部分学生养成了较为懒散的学习习惯，没有进行计划性的学习，对学习的任务也是采取敷衍的态度，导致学习没有深度。在课后，很少有学生主动进行英语学习[2]。这些意识的落后最终都体现为对英语的忽视，态度的不积极严重影响英语水平的提高。除了学生，部分教师对英语的重视程度也较低。很多的艺术类教师只注重对学生专业能力的培养，只注重表演、绘画、音乐等艺术涵养高、文化程度深的课程教学。他们忽视了英语作为语言的沟通作用，没有进行较高质量的英语教学，导致学生学习更加懒散。最后，学校的考核制度也不够合理，大多数学校采取期末的方法进行考核，而考试的监督又不够严格。这种考试制度使得学生的学习只是为了应付考试，教学的宽度有所下降。
（二）基础较差，教学难度大
艺术类专业的文化课程分数线较低，很多学生英语基础比较差，大多数都在60分左右，平均水平处于不及格的状态，甚至部分学生的英语成绩在20分左右，英语成绩在100分以上的比较少。一方面，学生的基础差，而教学内容是需要一定基础的，这一矛盾导致教学从最开始就没有进行良好的对接。随着教学的继续，学生之间的差距越来越大，整体水平甚至出现了倒退。另一方面，基础差使学生养成了一种无所谓的态度，抱着破罐子破摔的心理对待英语学习。英语作为一门语言类学科，学生在日常生活中使用得也较少，一旦教学出现了间断，就会出现倒退的现象。而且，艺术生的专业课占比极大，练习较多，学生没有课外时间进行英语学习，导致基础不牢固。
（三）方式单一，教学效果差
由于艺术类专业对英语不够重视，导致教学的方式没有变化，资源分配过少，加剧了教学模式的单一。大多数英语课堂仍然采取教师课上讲授、学生被动接受的教学模式。这种灌输式的教学方法损伤了学生学习的积极性，也不利于对教学的深度进行挖掘。尤其教授对象是艺术生这种思想较为活泼、性格较为开放的群体，这种板的教学模式带来了沉闷的气氛，导致部分学生对英语教学出现了抵触的心理。
（四）难度不合理，实际意义低
目前边远山区的英语教学没有考虑艺术生的基础较差这一现状，导致教材与教学脱轨，很多学生无法理解教学内容。另外，在教学内容的分配上，英语的运用内容较少，这会造成教学的实际意义降低，无法适应高考及社会发展的需求。

信头是指发信人的姓名(单位名称、地址和日期，一般写在信纸的右上角。一般公函或商业信函的信纸上都印有单位或公司的名称、地址、电话号码等，因此就只需在信头下面的右边写上写信日期就可以了。
英文地址的写法与中文完全不同，地址的名称按从小到大的顺序：第一行写门牌号码和街名;第二行写县、市、省、州、邮编、国名;然后再写日期。标点符号一般在每一行的末尾都不用，但在每一行的之间，该用的还要用，例如在写日期的时候。
其中日期的写法，如1997年7月30日，英文为：july 30，1997(最为普遍;july 30th，1997;30th july，1997等。1997不可写成97。

how to do research
——reading after a science paper
these days i am busy preparing my dissertation which is about web usage mining . i read some english papers and learnt much from them . and now i want to say something about a paper titled “web usage mining：discovery and applications of usage patterns from web data”.
this is the first english paper i read about dissertation and gave me great help .
this paper is a review about web usage mining. it introduced web usage mining in detail . although it is a little old for it was published in its contents are very useful today . it is organized according to the sequence of web usage mining and the six main parts are introduction which tells me what is web usage mining the sources and abstraction of web data the three steps of web usage mining taxonomy and project survey websift overview privacy issues . the third and fourth parts are most important . it had a list of existing project about web usage mining which i saw many times in other papers but this paper is the one creating this list . besides it has been referred for more then twenty times . as we all know that the higher the referred number is the more important the paper is so i consider this paper to be an important and successful one in this region.
in my opinion the success of this paper dues to three reasons . the first reason is the profound computer knowledge owned by the authors . web usage mining relates to many subjects such as artificial intelligence ontology semantic analysis but the most basic knowledge is computer science . the four authors are all professors of department of computer science and engineering in university of minnesota . for myself i am not major in computer science and i am not very good at computers so i feel a little difficult to understand technologies used in this region.
second they had read a large number of papers before they wrote this paper . there are fifty nine references listed after main contents . “stand on the shoulders of giants” this sentence tell us a truth : one can never successful all by oneself . and what’s more learn from others can save a lot of time and energy especially for us new learner . how to learn from others is a skill all of us should master but learning doesn’t mean copy or plagiary . other people’s knowledge and production is just our foundation upon this foundation we must have our own thoughts and creation. there are many remarks in this paper where referred other’s production.
third the authors had the experience of developing a web usage mining project . they don’t just engage in idle theorizing so their comprehension on this issue is greatly profound. they know what we may meet in a real project development and they know how to resolve them . after reading this paper i also read some other papers written in chinese . some of them are not based on real project and can not give useful resolution . websift is the name of system they developed which can be used to data mining and analysis .
i wrote this article not only because it gave me much help in preparing my dissertation but also because it tells me how to study and how to do research . honesty and preciseness are two essential making a researcher must have . hard-working is the necessary condition leading to success . this is just the beginning of my dissertation i should learn from these four authors both their knowledge and their attitude to study.
