when i started learning English, T was really shy. In class, I never said word in English because I was afraid about making mistakes. And I became more and much quiet in English classes. Anyway, my English teacher was a very kind woman. She encouraged me practise speaking English with my friends. She said it might help me to become more and more confidently. She often praised me when I said something good, or even though I might make a mistake. I was really frightened at first talking to my classmate in English.
