The characteristics of junior middle school students' interest are mainly in three aspects. First, the scope of interest is reduced and the central interest is formed. Second, the stability and depth of interest is stronger. Third, it keeps balance between direct and indirect interest. If a middle school student is interested in learning English, he will not take English as a heavy burden；on the contrary, he will be proactive and gain pleasure in learning. Moreover, people will learn and master knowledge quickly under the psychological state which is full of interest. Interest excites curiosity. In general, the higher the interest is, the better the study effect is. If interest becomes the psychological needs of students in learning English, they will gradually develop the habit of learning English consciously. Then the problem of learning English will be reduced. In a word, only a deep interest in English can improve learning initiative and overcome the difficulties in study.
