12. One sample version: Subject: Reply From: Knowledgeable Dear Fran, Shyness is extremely common, especially among teens. As shy people, most of us are worrying about ourselves—about how we look, what we say and whether other people will likeus—to stop to think about what we can do forother people. But really, that’s what being social is about—the other person, not us. So you can tell her two ways to overcome shyness.

13. First, tell her that she should let people know that she is shy in case she is misunderstood. Second, tell her that it is better to make things easy for the other person. Tell her to remember that she is the best person for the job; she can practise in various ways. And tell the rest of the students that you should all help and encourage her to overcome shyness.
