In schools across the world, you will find a kind of students who have ability to take part in classroom discussion. 1. They are simply talking with the same freeness and ease(自在)that most of us have when chatting with friends.

But for some other students, they’re quite afraid of speaking in front of people. Why can’t they do it? 2.

5. First, write down something about what they want to say before raising their hands. It will make them feel safe. Second, make little goals for themselves: Today, I’m going to say one thing in class, no matter what. Then the next week, make two more. At last, things will go well. Until they can go through all the nervousness and discomfort.

B. Because they expected to be that smart kid all the time.

C. Because they may feel embarrassed if their answers are wrong.

D. To solve this problem, they need to change in very small ways.

E. They are afraid that people won’t think that they are super smart.
