1. Introduction

As we all know, vocabulary plays an important role in language learning. It is the basis for students to learn English well. Mastering a large number of vocabularies will help improve students’ English level. However, a large number of students find it is difficult to remember the vocabulary; as a result, they lose the interests in learning vocabulary, especially for the students in the suburban junior school. What may cause this situation? Some of the teachers only pay attention to their teaching work and ignore the main part of the students. Students only focus on teachers’ education work. In this way, students can not develop their thinking and innovative ability. Teachers only teach the vocabulary according to the English books and do not add the words related to the life in English class teaching. So the vocabulary of students can not be improved. In addition, the normal teaching method widely used in class is that the teachers read and explain the words and the students repeat for many times. This method is too single and passive which make students feel very boring. How to solve this problem and change the current situation?
