Speaking English is cool. Like many of you, I was shy about speaking it in the past. But now I like saying things in English. Why?
A few days ago, I met two Americans. I tried to speak with them. But I couldn't say a word!
But yesterday, I met another foreigner. This time I was confident. I said "hello" to him, and began to ask questions. He told me about himself. His name is Mark and he comes from the U. S. We became friends. Sometimes I can't find the right word to show my feeling. But he can guess and we go on talking.
At first, everyone feels a bit shy. But it doesn't matter. As time passes, you'll learn more and more English! Just open your mouth and speak. No one can laugh at you except yourself!
