If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, just try the following things:
You can make it. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps feel more at ease in talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. 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 a conversation, 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. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your book 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 can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.How many pieces of advice does the writer give?

When I was in primary school, I got into a big argument (争吵) with a boy in my class. I forgot what the argument was about, but I will never forget the lesson I learned that day.
I thought that I was right and he was wrong – and he thought that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson.
In the middle of her desk was a large, round ball. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the ball was. “White,” he answered.uShe brought us to the front of the class and asked him to stand on one side of her desk and me on the other.
I couldn’t believe he said the ball was white, when it was obviously (明显地) black! Another argument started between us, this time about the color of the ball.
The teacher told us to change places and then asked me what color the ball was. I answered: “White.”
