Is there anything worse than that? You bravely raise your hand to answer a question, but your teacher just point out that you're wrong. What a shame! What could the teacher make you suffer (忍受) this?
Relax. . Your teacher isn't calling you out to humiliate (使丢脸) you, but rather out of concern for you and your education.
Having all your classmates come to know your weak points can be pretty hard, so how can you get past the shame and recognize class participation as a learning opportunity?
Get out of your comfort zone. Terrill Schumaker, a teacher, explains that “the more you speak out, the more you learn how to grow and build confidence. ”
Realize it's not a big deal. . People aren't going to care all that much. “If I'm wrong or make a stupid point, then people laugh at me, but life moves on” says Grade 12 Kristen Wesenberg. Besides, everybody makes mistakes, and you can't be perfect all the time.
. Of course it takes courage (勇气), but as Wesenberg says, ―What's the point of living in fear?‖ You won't learn anything if you are not brave enough.
Use the experience as a learning tool. Wesenberg advises asking teachers why you're wrong so they can explain and you can learn.. If you're wrong now, at least you won't be wrong in your next test!
A. Be brave in class
B. Trust your teacher instead
C. Use class time as a mini—test
D. And it's not the end of the world
E. Then you can live an exciting life
Teenage life — better now，or in the past?

So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.

However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it is just us with our computer or television. Teenagers don't do enough exercise. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}And, although young people still get on well with their friends，some people think teenagers today don't have so many social activities as they did in the past.
What do you think? How is teenage life better these days?
