五、阅读理解
I used to be a very shy person. I was afraid to speak in public and I would always avoid situations where I had to interact with a lot of people. I was also very self-conscious about my appearance and I thought that everyone was looking at me and judging me.
As I grew up, I realized that these feelings were holding me back. I started to work on myself. I joined a public speaking club to improve my speaking skills and to get over my fear of public speaking. I also started to exercise regularly to improve my self-confidence.
Over time, I noticed that I was changing. I was becoming more confident and I was able to interact with people more easily. I was no longer as self-conscious about my appearance and I was able to enjoy social situations more.
I have learned that we can change ourselves if we want to and that we should not let our fears and insecurities hold us back from living our lives to the fullest.
