In our daily life, we may meet some people who are so shy. It’s perfectly OK to take time to warm up new people. 1.

Start small talks with people you know. Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, asking questions, and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around.

2. Often, the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started. Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself, or asking a question. Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to get to know someone.

Rehearse (排練) what to say. Write down what you want to say beforehand. Rehearse it out loud, maybe even in front of the mirror. Then just do it. Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like what you have practiced or if it’s not perfect. 3. Next time, it’ll be better because it will be easier.

4. Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests. Give yourself a chance to practice socializing (社交) with these new people, and get to know them slowly.

Most of all, be yourself. It’s OK to try out different conversational ways you know. But say and do what fits your style. 5.

A. Nobody is perfect.

B. It’s easier said than done.

C. Think of some conversation starters.

D. It’s important to work out in groups.

E. Here are some tips for beating shy feelings.

F. Give yourself a chance to take part in activities.

G. Being the real you is the best way to attract new friends.
