Trang 2Shyness may not seem to be a serious complaint, but for some who suffer from it, it can become unbearable Even talking to a small group of people you know can seem like an ordeal- it can feel as if you’ve been asked to give a speech on a topic you know very little about to a number of experts You start to feel hot and shaky, your heart beats faster, your knees feel weak, you begin to stutter and the whole experience seems to last forever
The fact of the matter is that shyness is something we often recognize in others: “blushing” is one of the more visible signs, for example Yet we don’t judge someone harshly because of this But shyness does mean that you are harder to approach, so you become more (14) isolated As one shy person put it, “It’s like being in a prison, and it’s very hard to break out.” Experts on the subject have come up with various possible solutions, and one has been singled out as being the key to success- namely, finding an interest in common with the other people Spending a lot of time on the sidelines watching other people and envying them because they are much more outgoing doesn’t help; remembering that some of those people you most envy are probably shy themselves, does The secret is how you deal with it And experts have come up with four things you can do today to help Firstly, you can start by listening to other people You will find yourself getting interested in what they’re talking about and asking questions- and before you know it, you’ll be having a conversation
Secondly, you could try asking neighbors if you can walk their dog Like children, pets can
be excellent icebreakers for conversations with passers-by Thirdly, try joining a class to learn something like tap-dancing or flamenco, where people are likely to laugh a lot You’ll feel relaxed, and also you’ll be much too busy concentrating on what you are doing to feel shy Lastly, try telling yourself that it doesn’t matter if you say or do something silly Most people make a fool of themselves every so often- and it’s not the end of the world if you do!

Picture a society where learning can happen at any time, in any place and can be completed without ever going to class This is could be new wave of education and the internet technology now exists to support such a system The virtual classroom is here If you are interested in English or Civil Engineering, then head to the University and click yourself a degree Well, maybe it’s not that easy, but you would be on the right track The flexibility of studying at your own pace, and the money you save with online courses, are two of the main attractions
The web is a powerful educational tool Some feel that virtual classrooms will isolate students from each other, which will result in problems developing interpersonal relationships and that these skills are much more important than computer skills Should teachers teach kids how to behave in society, how to respect others and how to co-operate, or should kids have already learned this from their parents? No one is saying that social skills aren’t important, however, virtual classrooms are far more than just computer skills Some strongly believe that education can be taught via the web and social skills can be gained from joining sports teams, summer camps, or just by hanging out! Others argue that this virtual classroom may place pressure on students: to become computer literate or be left behind in life Is this undue pressure or reality?

Trang 6behavior has always exceeded the concern to develop students’ creativity Computer technology can make individualized attention a real possibility At the Institute for the Learning Sciences, systems are being developed to allow people to try out things in simulated worlds This technology will allow for the individual creative growth in students
The web will provide amazing opportunities for the education of our society Anyone with a computer and internet access can peruse effectively unlimited amounts of knowledge and programs, designed to help them learn and understand The teachers and parents involved with these programs will be given the job of making sure that students lead well-balanced lives that combine Web-education and positive social interaction with their friends and neighbors Imagine that your recreation room has now become your classroom, and your parents seem to be doing as much homework as you are! So, be prepared as the virtual classroom may find its way to a computer screen near you!
