If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver,just try the following things：

Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid,they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.

Try to smile more. When you smile,people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation,say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it's not so hard to talk with others.

Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “ Hi!” or smile at someone,say to yourself “You can make it. ” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.

Advice on 1 to be a little braver

(B) Living in a foreign culture can be exciting,but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications （沟通误解) were always possible,even over something as simple as yes and no .

On her first day in Micronesia,an island in the Pacific (太平洋) ,Lisa thought people were not paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked ,“ Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her： She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛) ，which in Micronesia means “yes”.

Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria,a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter ,“Do you have cabbage today?”

He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country,a nod means

“no ” .

Tom had a similar problem when arrived in India. After explaining something in class,he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood,so he explained again. When he asked again,they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India,people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
