B 新情境·改变自我
Back when I was little, I was shy and afraid of trying new things. I was afraid to speak up in class or make new friends. My heart would beat fast whenever someone asked me a question, and my face would turn as red as a tomato. I spent most of my time playing video games and watching cartoons. I was comfortable in my little world, but I knew something was missing.
One day, I met a new friend, Sarah. Sarah was different from me. She loved trying new activities and meeting new people. She encouraged me to step out of my world, so we went on bike rides, and tried painting together. I was worried, but Sarah taught me that it's OK to make mistakes and that failure is a stepping stone to success.
Slowly but surely, I started to change. I began to raise my hand in class, sharing my thoughts and ideas. Now, I'm a different person. I'm shy sometimes, but I've learned to be confident. I've discovered being myself is the best way to make true friends. Thanks to Sarah, I now see the world as a place full of possibilities(可能性). I'm not afraid of trying new things because they help me grow. I'm thankful for what I have become—someone brave, confident, and ready to explore the world, one step at a time.
