With the development of updated curriculum innovation, to cultivate students'skill of communication has been brought in view and seen as the objective of foreign language teaching. Therefore, for English teaching, the teachers must switch traditional ideas of"the subject-center-only"and"the knowledge-center-only", enabling students to have awareness of touch other relevant subjects and knowledge. We teachers should also try to arouse their interest in English and strengthen their ability to use target language in real communication.
