Y ignore what people think about him and
be more confident in conversations
Y take it easy when making mistakes or
doing something for the first time
¥ make more friends in reality or online
so that he can socialize more
Trang 11All people feel shy at some time in their lives, but being shy most of the time can cause difficulties with day-to-day activities and relationships
Sometimes, it is normal to feel shy, such as in the following circumstances
e «6 Any first-time situation, such as starting a new school
e Before a performance/speech
e Meeting new people
However, people who are extremely shy feel nervous even more often As
a result, they may:
e Spend more time on computers, without human contact
e Avoid or cancel social events
e Have fewer friends
e Think poorly of themselves
Other inhibitions include:
e Participating less often than others in classes at school
e Blaming themselves when things go wrong
e Being easily embarrassed
Some studies show that shyness can be genetic — it can run in families People who were quiet children may never grow out of this, and may become shy teens and adults
There are some situations in which being shy can be hard Events such as a move or changes in family life can be great sources of stress For many teens, just going to school can be stressful You may feel embarrassed, like you don't fit in If you act confident in yourself, others will think that way too If you act like you don't matter, others may treat you that way If you can understand when you feel the most shy, you can try to overcome this little by little and your comfort zone may become much bigger

Listening script
I believe that everyone has had embarrassing
experiences in their life I had one not so long ago
and I though it was the most embarrassing
experience that I have ever had! It happened to me
one Sunday last month I was cycling to our Sunday
club meeting by the side of my best friend It was
really a beautiful day! Everything seemed so nice
until I noticed that I had left the storybook on which
I had the duty to do an oral presentation to the club
members So we hurried to the nearest bookstore
We put our bicycles in front of the store and ran in
to find the book Luckily, I saw the book on a shelf
not very far from the place we were searching
Looking at my watch, I realized that it was a little
late So I reached the counter to pay for the book
and got out of the store We took our bikes and rode
way Suddenly, I found something wrong with my
bike, and you know what? I had taken a bicycle of
someone else My face was hot and I felt extremely
ashamed of myself I looked around and
fortunately, there was no one else witnessing the
sight I brought the bike back to its place, feeling
like a thief My friend had an opportunity to laugh
at my carelessness That's my worst
embarrassing experience!
