When the teacher asks a question in class, Wang Xiaobin never raises his hand. The 15-year-old Beijinger always waits for other classmates or the teacher to give the answer. “What if my answer is wrong?” Wang asks.

Wang is typical (典型的) among students who don’t put their hands up to answer teachers’ questions. At middle schools, this situation is very common.

Wang told that there are 53 students in his class, only six or seven raise their hands when a question is asked. “I think it’s a problem that might affect our studies, but I am afraid of making mistakes in front of my classmates,” he said.

This problem has attracted teachers’attention. Hu Wei, a teacher from Yibin No. 6 Middle School, Sichuan, listed some possible reasons to explain why students don’t raise their hands: they lack confidence；they are afraid of showing off or they’re afraid of losing face by giving a wrong answer.

To encourage students to raise their hands and get more involved (参与) in class, Hu suggests that teachers should repeat the question, then try to guide and encourage students to offer their answers.

Hu also advised students not to be shy, but confident and brave enough to try. No matter whether your answer is right or wrong, being active in class can help you understand the information better.

Sun Pin, 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) and confident to express my idea,” Sun said. “Raising my hand has really made me outstanding.
