Are you too nervous to work out the problem when your teacher asks you to come to the blackboard? If your answer is “yes”,you get really shy.

Shyness means feeling frightened when youre the center of attention. 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 plays. But he was too shy to know what to do when there were people around. Later,he had to give up,but shyness didnt stop him from becoming a great inventor.

Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for others. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. It isnt a very big problem,but some become so shy that they cant do what they want to do. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. Here are some good ways to make you brave(勇敢).

* Tell people you are shy. This can make others understand you better and help to make 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 some nice words about people around you. Its very helpful for keeping your talk.

* Put your attention somewhere else. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Dont waste time worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not.
