①How do you feel when you have to make an English speech (演讲) in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Are you shy (害羞的)? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, nearly 50% of the people are shy, and almost 80% feel shy sometimes.
② ▲ It is found that people might be shy because of their family. Kids with no brothers or sisters may be shy. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They can’t have the same social skills as kids from big families.
③It is also found that people might be shy because of technology. As more and more people use the Internet, they go outside less (更少). So they lose chances (机会) to talk with others. Speaking to new people face to face can make them feel nervous.
④For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But some scientists say shy people can do better sometimes, because they think more and talk less. Scientists also say if you don’t want to be shy anymore, you can do something new and talk with others more often.
⑤Anyway, don’t be afraid of shyness! Don’t lose good chances because of it! If you need to sing a song at a birthday party or speak English in front of others, just do it!
