If you think you are too shy and want to be a little braver, just try the following things: Be open to others. 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 you feel more comfortable 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(注意) elsewhere（在别处）. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don't waste time worrying about your look or whether(是否) people like you or not. You will become relaxed(放松的) and find it's not so hard to talk with others.

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.

Title: Advice on……to be a little braver

A．In general, kids and teens that eat breakfast have more energy and do better in school. Without breakfast, people can get tired. So, try to make time for your breakfast.

B．Some drinks like coke and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can cause weight problems. Besides, they may also bring you bad teeth. Stay away from them and drink water instead.

C．It is important to have good habits of having meals, especially for children. A bad eating habit may cause serious health problem. For example, eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.

D．Drink water in a healthy way. The water you drink helps get rid of the waste of your body. But too much is as bad as too little. Stop drinking water 30 minutes before a meal and wait for 2 hours after a meal.

E. Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry and need more food. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food. Stop eating before you feel full.

F. Busy people always rush through their meals, forgetting to enjoy the food and feel the taste of what is in their mouths. Take time to chew(咀嚼) your food and enjoy mealtimes.

G. Don't eat too much before going to bed. Your body needs a long rest at night, including your stomach. Don't give it too much burden(负担).

    A traveler in South Africa once set out on a long journey. When crossing a wide plain(平原), far from home, he saw a lion at a distance. The lion saw him at the same time, and followed him slowly.

    When the traveler walked fast, the lion walked fast! When he stopped, the lion stopped! The man realized that the lion meant to follow him until the dark, and then attack(攻击) him.

    He was not able to run away from the lion because the lion ran faster than him. So he thought of a plan to fool it.

    He came to a large rock. He hid behind the rock, where the lion could not see him. Then taking a stick which he could find there, he put his coat and his hat on it, in order to make them look like a man. He then placed the stick with the coat and the hat standing in the ground above the rock. He then left quietly.

    The lion stopped and watched the coat and the hat, at a distance. At nightfall, it jumped onto the coat and the hat to try to kill the man.

    But the traveler was already far away. Before long, he reached his own home.

    Febri's is a very friendly place. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} We did not see one unhappy staff member (工作人员) — all have smiles on their faces. It is very clean and it has good service.

    The pool is wonderful and deep and there is a baby area in it. My kids loved the elephants around the pool spraying water. We often bad lunch by the pool. You only just push the bell and the staff will bring you a menu. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It serves the usual food with little change each day.

    Lots of visitors stay here because it's a very good family hotel. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If you have young kids, I advise you to ask a ground floor rooms, because stairs are too hard for young kids. These rooms are at the back of the hotel, so there is no street noise. It's very quiet. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I slept with 3 pillows (枕头) under me. The spa is quite relaxing! The location is good. Everything is close by, and the street is not one way here. Next to the hotel door there is a good DVD shop, and you can rent DVD at a good price from it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} It's a $1 taxi ride to Kuta Market. If you want to go to the beach, you can walk through the hotel opposite to Febri's to get to Tuban Beach.
