Shyness means you feel frightened when you’re the center of attention. It is like a snake that crawls (爬進(jìn)) into our mouth and stops us from s 【1】. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes, even the great people in history. When Thomas Edison was young, he loved Shakespeare very much. He wanted to act in his play. But he was too shy. He didn’t know w【2】 to do when there were people around. Later, he had to give up. But shyness didn’t stop him from being a great inventor.

Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy, It isn’t a very big problem. But some become so shy that they can’t do the things they wanted to do. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. Here are some good ways to make you b【4】.

Tell people you are shy. This can make others u 【5】you better and help you easier in talks.

Try to smile more. People think you are friendly and easy to talk to when you smile.

Learn to be a good talker. Begin your talk with saying s【6】nice about people around you. It’s very helpful for keeping your talk.

Put your attention somewhere else. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don’t waste time w 【7】about your looks or whether people like you or not.
