20.Having a shy style isn't necessarily a problem.It's perfectly OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations.Here are some tips for overcoming shy feelings.
Start small with people you know.Practise social behavior like eye contact,confident body language,introductions,small talk,asking questions,and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around.Build your confidence this way.(36)B
Think of some conversation starters.(37)EThink of conversation openers,like introducing yourself,giving a compliment,or asking a question.Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to approach someone.
Rehearse (排練)what you want to say.(38)D Practise it again and again,maybe even in front of a mirror.Then just do it.Don't worry if it's not exactly like what you practised or if it's not perfect.Few of the things more confident-seeming people do are perfect either.Next time,it'll be even better because it will be easier.
(39)C Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests.Give yourself a chance to practise socializing with these new people,and get to know them slowly.People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them.So treat yourself like your own best friend.Encourage yourself instead of expecting to fail.
Most of all,be yourself.It's OK to try out different conversational approaches you see others are using.(40)FBeing the real you-and daring to let yourself be noticed-is what attracts friends.
A.It's important to make friends.
B.Then branch out into doing this with new friends,too.
C.Give yourself a chance.
D.Write down what you want to say in advance.
