I’m a bit¹ shy² when I have to speak in English. I’m a little worried³ about making mistakes⁴. I also still lack⁵ confidence⁶. Many of my friends don’t worry about mistakes. They just talk and talk. They always get their message across⁷, even⁸ if their grammar⁹ is wrong. I think this is the best thing to do. My teacher always says it’s best to learn by doing. If I don’t try to speak English, I’ll never be able¹⁰ to use it when I need it. One thing I started doing recently¹¹ was¹² talking to myself¹³. I have short conversations¹⁴ with myself. I think it works¹⁵. I also make short stories about people and say them aloud¹⁶. I do this in my room, of course¹⁷. People would¹⁸ think I’m crazy¹⁹ if I did²⁰ it in class or on the train.
