Because of the shyness, Betty just stood with few words in public. The shy girl hardly talked to people in social activities. She was often considered as a quiet girl in the community. She felt like a wallflower and wondered if she would go unnoticed all the time. However, her closest friend, Fiona, was completely different. Fiona loved to communicate with others and she encouraged Betty to change. She told Betty that life wasn’t always as beautiful as roses and that everyone was able to make it full of roses. With the encouragement of Fiona, Betty began to change. Instead of being a wallflower, she started attending a community theater class. She took an active part in acting in the theater group. Her gift for acting began to shine. However, new difficulties were never far away. One of Betty’s classmates became a thorn(刺) in her side. The classmate was not satisfied with her achievements, but Betty continued to deal with the situation. She managed to show herself and became friends with the classmate. All the changes made her feel fresh every day. Betty’s hard work paid off when the town’s famous director, Mr. Johnson, watched one of her plays. He liked her acting so much that he offered her the lead role in his new play. Betty’s moment arrived. People were happy to watch her show. Finally, Betty became a confident(自信的) girl.

This 15-year-old boy always waits for other classmates or the teacher to give the answer. “What if my answer is wrong?” Wang asks. Wang said only six or seven students in his class raise their hands when a question is asked. “I think it’s a problem that may affect(影响) our studies, but I am afraid making mistakes in front of my classmates,” he said. When we asked the teacher, Hu Wei, why the students didn’t raise their hands, he said, “They lack (缺乏) confidence. They are afraid of showing off, or they’re afraid of losing face by giving wrong answers.” To encourage students to raise hands in class, Hu suggested that teachers should repeat the question, then try to guide and encourage students to offer answers. Hu also advised students not to be shy, but brave enough to try. Sun Pin, 16 of Fujian, always raises her hand as soon as she comes up with the answer, even if she isn’t sure she has gotten it right. Sun can’t understand why some of her classmates keep silent in class. She enjoys raising her hand a lot. “It keeps me enthusiastic (热情的) and confident to express my idea,” Sun said. “Raising my hand has really made me excellent.” 21.
