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 you're 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 play．But he was too shy．He didn't know what to do when there were people around．Later，he had to give up．But shyness didn't 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 other people．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 want to do．This kind of shyness can be bad for a person．Here are some good ways to make you braver．

参考译文

当老师让你到黑板上做题时，你是否紧张得解不出来？如果你回答“是”，你就确实是个害羞的人。

害羞意味着当你成为关注的焦点时，你会感到害怕。实际上，每个人都会时不时地有点害羞，即使是历史上的伟人。托马斯·爱迪生年轻时非常喜欢莎士比亚。他想参加莎剧的演出。但他太害羞了。只要周围有人，他就不知道该怎么办。后来，他只得放弃。但害羞并不妨碍他成为伟大的发明家。

有些专家说，害羞的人更聪明，因为他们想得多、说得少。害羞的人还擅长和别人相处，因为他们常为别人考虑。大多数人害羞时会脸红，说话结结巴巴。这不是什么大问题。但有些人太害羞了，以致想做的事也做不成。这种害羞就有害了。下面提供几条让你更勇敢的好方法。

● 告诉别人你害羞。这会让别人在谈话时更好地理解你的行为并帮助你放松。

● 尽量微笑。当你微笑时，别人会认为你很友好，容易沟通。

● 学做一个健谈的人。一开始，先对周围的人说些赞美的话。这对完成谈话很有帮助。

● 把注意力放在别的东西上。多想想如何享受晚会或活动。不要把时间浪费在关注自身形象或别人是否喜欢你之类的问题上。
