My best friend, Mei, has a problem．There is a really 1 English speech contest for our whole city next month．Our classmates want her to represent the class in the school 2 ．Everyone is sure she will win．It’s probably true．Mei is very clever, and can speak English really well．In fact, she 3 comes top in the school exams．The 4 is that she is very shy．She doesn’t want to let her friends 5 , but she’s terrified of speaking in front of other people．
She is my best friend, so she can tell me that she’s shy． 6 she can’t tell everyone that．I don’t think they would believe her．I can’t think of any good advice to give her．But you always 7 up with good solutions to people’s problems．What do you think I should tell Mei?What do you think I should tell the rest of the students?
