Kyeong-eun Lee / My Personality / Mon34

Title: I am a shy person.

I'm a shy person. I often have difficulties in making relationships with new friends or expressing my opinions in large groups. When I was a freshman, I met my university friends on the orientation day for the first time. Even though many other guys communicated each other with curiosity, I was the one in the silence. I did not know what to say, so just stayed calm listening what others say. My being shy person also can be witnessed in my classes in the university. Nowadays, it has become an important virtue to participate in classes actively, so most professors motivate students to take part in class activities. However, for me, expressing my opinion in the classroom is very touch; when I have a presentation in front of classmates, I often have vibrating hands and voices, making me more nervous. After entering university, I've tried to be positive and confident in front of large audiences, but it is still hard for me. Because of my shyness, I have experienced such embarrassing things in the university, yet I'm trying to overcome it, preparing my future career.

  1. Hi. What I like about your writing is that it describes your personality, shyness, very well with personal examples. It is well organized also. I especially like the last line "I am trying to overcome it, preparing for my future career." It shows your will to be more active for the future. However, there is a small mistake. In the 8th line, you said the word "touch." I think it is an typo which has to be "tough." Overall, I really enjoyed reading your writing. and good luck to you!!

  2. Hi, it was nice to read your paragraph talking about how shy person you are. What I liked about your writing is that you mentioned several examples to show your shyness. Through your personal stories, I could easily understand how much you are getting shy infront of stragers. I especially liked the last line. I think you can improve your writing by fixing some spelling errors and grammar mistakes.
