Dear editor,

I am 14. I am really outgoing when I am with my family at home, but I almost never talk at school. I really want to get over it, but I just don’t know how. What should I do?

A shy girl Rachel

Dear Rachel,

The following ways may be able to help you out.

To begin with, you need to SMILE to others. If you are meeting someone and they look scared and angry, would you talk to them? Probably not. This may be how people feel about you. If you are smiling and if your eyes are saying that you’re happy to see others, the conversation will be easier for you and them.

Next, do some volunteer work at school. Many shy kids don’t do these because they always wonder if they can do very well. In fact, when you take part in activities that interest you, you’ll find you can really do very well, and you will meet people with the same interests.

Start today one small step with one welcoming smile or one volunteer work and show the world inside you, and then you’ll become a person who has interests and talents and self confidence. I believe that this is the person you want to be. Only you can make it happen.

Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky.Why? Because there are too many people everywhere.In many places of interest in China, it's too crowded to do anything.

Look at the picture.It was too crowded on the Great Wall on October 1st, 2013.

You even couldn't take photos for you or your friends.All what we could see were people.It was said that there were about twenty people per meter on the Great Wall.My friends told me they could see nothing but many people on the Great Wall.“We couldn't walk if the people in front of us didn't walk,” he said.He showed us a photo on the Great Wall.In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.

So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week (黄金周) any more.But other people say no about this advice.What's your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.
