Question

【题目】

Are you a little shy when it comes to raising your hand in class? If so, that's totally normal. We've been there. With all attention on you, it can be so scary to speak up.

However, if you can break through your fear, we promise you can benefit （受益）a lot. According to a government study, some students are falling behind because they're too shy to put their hands up when a teacher asks a question. So try to raise your hand!

To start with, you'll realize the power of being wrong. Nobody is right all the time. Your teacher will be happy to see your participation and won't punish you for being wrong. He or she will explain why you're wrong. You'll learn something new. Chances are, other students think the same thing as you, but don't speak up. Not only do you help yourself, but you help your shy classmates, too.

Besides, your teacher will know you're interested in learning. Participating in class shows that you are not falling asleep behind your textbook. This is beneficial to you and your teacher. Your teacher will appreciate your interaction (互动) during the lesson and will remember your enthusiasm（热情）The next time you're one point away from an A+.

What's more, you'll have fun discussing with your classmates. When you and other classmates are raising hands to answer questions, it makes the class more interesting and allows you to actively engage with the lesson. Your teacher doesn't have to stand in the front of the room talking nonstop for a long time. Class time will fly by and your mind won't be wandering to the clock every 5 minutes.

Most importantly, you'll know that you've actually learned the material. One of the best ways to prove that you actually know something is by talking about it. Speaking up in class shows that you are trying to understand or have understood what you've been taught.

Don't be shy or afraid to raise your hand in class. Nobody is judging you. Seriously. It'll finally pay off?
