Question

When the teacher asks a question in class,  Wang Xiaobin never raises his hand and this situation is very com?mon at middle  schools. This 15-year-old boy waits for other classmates or the teacher to give  the answer." What if my an?swer is wrong?" Wang asks.

Wang said only six or seven students in his  class raise their hands when a question is asked.I think it's a problem that  may affect(影响)our studies,but I am afraid of making  mistakes in front of my classmates, he said.

When we asked the teacher, Hu Wei, why the  students didn't raise their hands, he said, " They lack confidence (缺乏信心),they are afraid of showing off, or they're afraid of  losing face by giving wrong answers."

To encourage students to raise their hands  in class, Hu suggests that teachers should repeat (重复)the question, and then try to guide and encourage students to offer  their an?swers. Hu also advised students not to be shy, but brave enough to  try.

Sun Ping, 16 of Fujian,always raises her  hand as soon as she comes up with the answer, even if she isn't sure she has  gotten it right. Sun can't understand why some of her classmates keep silent in  class.She enjoys raising her hand a lot."It keeps me  enthusiastic(热情的)and confident to ex?press my idea," Sun  said."Raising my hand has really made me excellent."
