years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes v 4. me. When I was in high
school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone
except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the
w 5. to a local
shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a
j 6. in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to
customers(顾客). I had to tell them how m 7.
their meal
cost. I had to ask them if they want to drink Coke or Sprite.
This job
taught me how to speak with people.
You may be
too young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other c 8. to speak with
people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. O 9. you
can go to get a newspaper for your family.
If you do
these things for a while, the ‘shyness’ snake will soon begin
to l 10. you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.
