　　How do you feel if you make a speech in front of the whole class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get relly shy?

　　Shyness meansfeeling nervousor frightened when you are around other people．Expert s(专家)have found that more than 80 percent of the middle school students feel afraid to be the center of the attention．Some kidsare born shy．Some become shy later because of the living experience s．

　　It'sOK if it takesyou a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people．In fact, everyone getsa little shy sometime s．It'sju st a case of how much．

　　Most people have red facesand talk in brokensentenceswhen they get shy．But some become too shy and they won't go to a re staurant because they are too nervousto order and pay for their food．Some are afraid of meeting new people, so theyseldom go out side．Thiskind of shyness can be bad for a per son．

　　If shyness doe sn't stop you doing what you want to do, being shy isn't a very big problem．Some expertssay shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less．Shy people are also good at working with othersbecause they think more for other people．Some great people in history were shy, too．

　　You see, being shy isn't all bad．But remember-don't let good opportunity(机会)pass by ju st because of it! If you have to sing at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There isnothing to be afraid of．
