The creativeness of human is an important strength of helping student choose theme, and It gives people creative energy.

Students should learn to capture problems from their own life and bravely speak "their voice".For teachers, they should have the correct purpose of theme selection, deepen the understanding about the topic selection, then listen to the voice of students and give students the opportunity to choose, at last, teachers should guide to inspire timely and seize the opportunity to promote new theme. Schools should establish and improve the safety management system, let students select theme better. Secondly, schools should build a communication and cooperation platform for teachers and students, to promote the exchanges and coexistence of theme, thirdly, schools should cooperate with parents and the community, provide convenient conditions for students’ theme selection. I hope these suggestions can help students select theme more efficiently and help teachers guide students’selection better.
