1 . I was very shy when I was little. One day in class, my teacher asked me a
_______ I didn’t know the answer to it. Then I said something that sounded very
_______ to my classmates. They all laughed. From that day on, I always
_______to be quiet in class.
When I was thirteen years old, my family moved to a
_______city, so I went to a new school. On the first day, my dad and I
_______our house late. When I arrived at the school, the class had begun. I walked in and found the entire class was
_______me. This frightened me. For the next couple of classes I just sat
_______Mrs Smith, a kind-hearted teacher in my new class, noticed I was quiet. She decided to
_______me. The next day in her class, she handed out a piece of
_______to everyone. What I saw on the paper made my heart beat
________; it was an activity where you had to
________ people if they had or did any of those things listed on the paper. This meant that I had to talk to those strangers
________I wanted to finish it. At first, I just stood there not
________what to do, but then I thought, “What if I actually tried to
________to people? Then maybe I would make some
________at this school.” I encouraged myself and finally
________talking with other students. Sure enough, those “strangers” turned out to be really
________and helpful. They invited me to
________with them after class. These people are
________my friends today. We often hang out together.
If you’re
________just like I used to be, don’t be afraid to talk to others. They can be very nice and may become your friends.
