Dear Knowledgeable: My best friend, Mei, has a problem. There is a really important English speech contest for our whole city next month. Our classmates want her to represent the class in the school contest. Everyone is sure she will win. It’s probably true. Mei is very clever, and can speak English really well. In fact, she always comes top in the school exams. The problem is that she’s very shy. She __________________ 英语演讲比赛 ______ ________ 实际上 名列前茅 ________ 代表

doesn’t want to let friends down, but she’s terrified of speaking in front of other people. She’s my friend, so she can tell me that she’s shy. but she can’t tell everyone that. I don’t think they would believe her. I can’t think of any good advice to give her, but you always come up with good solutions to people’s problems. What do you think I should tell Mei? What do you think I should tell the rest of the students? __________________________ 不想让朋友们失望 _________________ be terrified of doing sth. ____________ _____________ _______ 我想他们会不相信她 想出，想起 Fran _________ 想出，想起

Mei's personalityclever but shy comes top in the school exams Mei's problems is terrified of speaking in front of other people Mei's study is wanted to represent the class in the school English speech contest doesn't want to tell her friends why and let them down can speak English really well

solutions to Mei's problem Mei should speak out her worries and let her classmates know. Mei shouldn't worry about what other people think of her. She should be more confident of herself, because she comes top in the school exams. She could join an English club and get plenty of practice.

Dear Fran, I’m very glad hear that Mei is so good at English. In my opinion, she should take part in the contest. It is a chance to show herself and learn from others, She is very clever. There is no need for her to be shy. Tell her that the teacher and the whole class will help her prepare for the contest and encourage her to practice in various ways. With the help of the teacher and the classmates, she will succeed. Do remember: try, then you’ll make it. Knowledgeable

Subject: Reply From: Knowledgeable Dear Fran, Shyness is fairly common, especially among teens. As shy people, most of us are worrying about ourselves—about how we look, what we say and whether other people will like us—to stop to think about what we can do for other people. But really, that’s what being social is about—the other person, not us. So you can tell her two ways to overcome shyness. First, tell her that she should let people know that she is shy in case she is misunderstood. Second, tell her that it is better to make things easy for the other person. Tell her to remember that she is the best person for the job; she can practice in different ways. And tell the rest of the students that you should all help and encourage her to overcome shyness. Knowledgeable
