1.1. What are the reasons for shyness and how to overcome shyness?

叶：It’s common that people will be shy when then stood in front of many

people. Then, what are the reasons for shyness? Do you know?

李：In my opinion, the reason is that people lack of confidence. They fear

that they will make mistakes and anyone may against them. They

concerned about what others think of them too much., so it’s easy for

them to be influenced by others’ opinions.

苏：The reasons for shyness are very much, and each person has their own

reasons for shyness. For me shyness is when i’m afraid say something

wrong in chinese language, how to overcome it i don’t know very well,

because i myself must to learn how to overcome it .

单：well, in my opinion, the reason is you take yourself too seriously.

When you do something, you always think that others will laugh at you.

After a period of time , you’ll lack of confidence to show yourself on

front of others.

李：And do you have any good ideas to overcome shyness?

单：If you want to eliminate it, there are many ways. For example, laugh often at your own jokes and those of others. Tell yourself that you have

great qualities, and don’t let anybody bring you down. It will help you

ease any tension you may be feeling.

叶：Yeah, you are right. And I think environment plays an important role

in shaping one’s personality. When a child grows in an environment

where fabulous peers around.If he isn’t confident enough. He likely

becomes silent and shy.What’s more,it’s common that when people in a

strange environment. They may be kind of shy and behave themselves.

For overcoming it.You need to build self-confidence and believe your

ability. Furthermore, don’t forget to give shy people more

encouragements,which may change their lives.

李：I agree with you, to overcome shyness, we should perfect ourselves.

We can study hard or read widely to enrich our knowledge. Then, we try

to make more friends and take part in more community activities in

school. And the most important is that belive we can do it! Then, we will

be more confident and relax when we talk to others.

1.2 What are the important factors in shaping one’s personality?

叶：As we all know, different people have different personality. So, there

must be something that influence the development of our personality.

李：I think family is the most important factor, how the parents educate

their children will affect their children's personality. A child brought up

by abusive [ə'bjuːsɪv]虐待的

parents tends to act violently and aggressively.侵略的 Some of these children may have low self esteem and

become

pessimistic.[,pesɪ'mɪstɪk]

Conversely, a child brought up in a family that is

loving and open minded tends to be more confident and outspoken.

单：I think you are right. Just as the theory says, a person who lack

something or eager for something, it’s may be that his requirement in

childhood don’t satisfy with him. The experence that we go through in the

family really have a deep refect on our personality. When we can’t say

words or walk, what we can do is watch what our parents do. Their

behavior have a refect on ous in a unconscious way.

叶：Yeah, you are right. kids touch more is their parents, sure that they will be affect by them. There is a saying goes “The daughter gets temper

from her father”.Children will be unconsciously influenced by their

parents.If your parents are optimists, that will sharp you to be optimistic.

Even when you face a great setback, you will answer it with smile.

Sometimes, you may behave like your father or your mother, because you

are their friends.

苏：I think the important factors in shaping your personality is trust

yourself, it is very important in daily life. You may try something new to

build a strong body. I wanna say that everyone has his or her own

potential, do it if you think it is right to do .

单：It seems that we should put the problem in a different light. Family

and enivornment, those are both important. We should think highly of the

environment as the family.
