Susan was a shy girl. She always had a hard time talking with new people. But when she grew up. she became a reporter. This job is usually for a person who likes to talk in front of people. But Susan thought that her shyness made her a better reporter. "Being shy makes me more believable people feel more comfortable around me. "she said.

It is reported that almost 50% of the people say that they are shy. Some people are not shy when they are with their friends. But when they are in a new place, they become quiet and shy.

Why are some people shy? Scientists did a study on two-month-old babies. They found that one of every five babies was very active. These active babies liked to make noise. And one of every five babies was always quiet. These quiet babies might be shy when they grew up.

Family also has an influence on shyness. For example, children are more likely to be shy if their family always tell them that they are wrong. Studies show that if parents have fewer friends and fewer family activities. their children usually become shy.

In fact, shy people are often good at listening. They are good friends because they listen more than they talk. This can also make them successful.

"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a poor man." As the old saying tells us, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It provides us with energy after a long night without food. If people don't have breakfast in the morning, they will feel tired and get angry easily. Breakfast helps children stay more focused in school. A study showed that children who eat breakfast regularly score higher in most subjects.

Breakfast is also important for losing weight. If you have a balanced breakfast, you will eat less throughout the day.

Healthy and balanced breakfast should include some protein like eggs, milk or a little meat which makes you energetic all day. Carbohydrates (碳水化合物) like rice or bread can keep you active. Vegetables and fruit have the vitamins that humans need.

In China, breakfast is different from region to region. However, porridge with pickles (腌菜), baozi, noodles, soybean milk and youtiao are common throughout the whole country. Although Western culture influenced China a lot, most people still prefer traditional Chinese breakfast. They think that porridge and noodles are not only easily digested , but also can provide enough energy in the morning.

Some Western countries, they have some other kinds of food. For example, in the USA, they enjoy sausages, soft pancakes. In Canada, local people like eating pancakes.

Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.

After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. "Son, you must have dropped this," the owner said. The young man couldn't believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.

On the way out of town, he began to understand what that fellow did. "Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass (使困窘) me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can."

Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars.

书面表达参考范文

Let’s develop a healthy lifestyle

  It is clear that health is the foundation of one’s future success. Only when we are healthy can we study well and enjoy life.

  However, according to a survey conducted in our school, many students don’t pay enough attention to their health. They have some bad habits. For example, They stay up too late and spend too much time watching TV, playing computer games, even chatting online all night, which has a bad influence on their health. Firstly, this may make them get near-sighted. Secondly, they will become weaker and weaker due to lack of exercise. Thirdly, they will lose the chance to communicate with others face to face as they never go out, which may damage their mental health.

  As far as I am concerned, we should develop a healthy lifestyle. We are supposed to spend less time in front of TV or the computer. Instead, we should participate in more physical exercise after school and spare some time to visit friends or relatives.
