That’s the way I am! Help these students see the
good sides of things: what they see as a flaw can
also be a quality! Give them advice to get better at
English.
Ex : “I’m shy” → It’s not a problem. People like you
because you don’t always try to catch everyone’s
attention. You should sit next to someone you trust
to see him or her as an ally. You can also ask the
teacher at the end of class.

2) “I’m afraid of speaking in public.” Brenda
3) “I understand most things but it’s harder for me
to make sentences.” Joshua
