Question

【题目】

How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? ___【1】___

In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they are doing. But where does that confidence begin?

Developing self-confidence starts very early. It’s parents’ role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people. ___【2】___ That can be done by focusing on the child’s strengths. Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. ___【3】___ So what’s the solution?

With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. ___【4】___

Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently.

Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities.

Prepare thoroughly for every project. You’ll approach the task more confidently knowing that you are ready.

___【5】___ It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next.

However, all humans fail at times, and you will too. Even with efforts to try all the above, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.

Keep in mind an item that reminds you of a recent success. The more you practice them, the easier they will become. The way you go into new situations show your level of self-confidence. Our goal is to prepare students to go into the world with confidence. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear. But self-confidence still doesn’t come easily.
