　　2.1.1 Students
　　The English foundation of vocational school students is different. Most of them graduate from middle school， no matter they come from urban area or rural area. As is known to all the quality of teaching in urban area is better than in rural area. Therefore， the English of junior middle school graduates are different. There may be the students who graduate from other vocational school or senior high school. Thus， these students’ English is better than junior middle school graduate students. For the pressure of enrolling new students， there may be the students who recognize the importance of study after they came to the society. When they go back to the campus， they are serious with their study， especially their professional courses. However， their English is poor for they lack of years’ English learning. It is obvious that the students’ different English make the teaching more difficult. 　　2.1.2 Teachers
　　English is not the professional course. Vocational school English teachers will not have the pressure of entering higher schools for the students goes to the society instead of entering higher schools. Therefore many vocational school teachers just pay attention to the language points of the text and don’t make any teaching demands.
