How to Be Outgoing
If you think you are too shy and want to be a little outgoing, try the following. You can make it.
1．__F__ There's no need to hide(隐瞒) it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they'll understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable when you talk with others.
2．__C__ People think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry－looking face.
3．__E__ If you find it hard to do, 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 those people?
4．__A__ Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don't waste time worrying about your looks or if people like you.
5．__B__ Each time after you say “hi” or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself “You did it！” Or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice cream.
Keep trying and one day you won't be “shy” any more when you talk to others.

In my opinion, __City_A__is the better place to spend my summer holiday.
Although the temperature there is higher, the hotel is less comfortable, and even the food is not as delicious as that in City B, I still choose City A. The most important reason is that I can have a lot of things to do in City A. I can enjoy more beautiful scenery and do more activities. Besides, it takes us only two hours to fly there, which saves us a lot of time. I hope the holiday will be an unforgettable experience.
In my opinion, __City_B__ is the better place to spend my summer holiday.
Although it takes me two more hours to fly there on an airplane and I don’t have many things to do, I still choose City B. The most important reason is that City B has better weather, not too hot or too cold. Besides, the hotel there is more comfortable and the food is more delicious than that in City A. All these make my holiday more relaxing. I hope the coming summer holiday will be an unforgettable experience.
