Children’s schooling is changing very fast． In the past, teachers kept children sitting still for hours． They made them memorize（记住） different kinds of things． In other words, the children had to go on repeating things until they knew them “by heart”． Today, many want to know if it’s possible to make children learn all．They say they can only help them learn． They say they must let children learn and find out things themselves．  

But for some children, school is a kind of prison（监狱）．They are there only because their parents make them go．They get out of the classroom as soon as the teacher lets them leave．Many of them want to find work, but the law will not let them work until they reach a certain age．And so, they have to stay in school． Often they do not learn anything at all and hate school every moment．

If you think you’re too shy and want to be a little bit brave, try the following:
You can make it. Tell people you’re shy. There’s no need to hide it. When they get to know you’re a shy kid, they’ll understand you better. This also helps you feel more relaxed in talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you’re friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention elsewhere（在别处）. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You did it”. Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk about yourself.
