学进去

Shyness once took over my life. When I was 13, in my French lesson, my teacher told us to __________ ourselves speaking about our families. I recorded myself with confidence. When I pressed “play” to listen back, I __________ my strange voice —just like a little kid. That made me very shy and I __________ attending events from then on.

Years after that, I became a teacher in a primary school. On the first day, my hands could not help but sweat（出汗）. The weight of my arms was trying to prevent me from __________ the door. Though a little __________, I opened the door slowly. __________, a wave of laughter flew through the air. Then I __________, and felt it was a bad __________ to be a teacher They did not seem to mind me at all. After class, a little girl walked up to me and asked, “Could you __________ me to read this?” with the most __________ face I have ever seen as if she had just gotten a cookie. “I like your voice!” she said. I shook my shyness off and my body felt as __________ as a feather（羽毛）. Perhaps this was not such a bad idea after all.

Besides, there was one simple thing that __________ me most. Every day when the students left, they would clean up after themselves and leave their areas __________ without ever being told to do so. Actually, they __________ very well. Looking back it now, I would have to say these students gave me one of the greatest __________ of my life.

In the future, I want to create a space for shy people like me to shine.
