6 分钟Hi there and welcome to Everyday English Lab.
I'm Emily and today I want to share something very personal, very real, and very important.
How to build confidence speaking English.
I know what you might be thinking.
Maybe you feel nervous every time you try to speak English.
Maybe you worry about your grammar or your accent.
Maybe you're afraid people will laugh at you or not understand you.
You're not alone.
I was once in that exact place too.
But today I'm going to tell you a story, my story, of how I turned that fear into confidence.
So, find a quiet place, grab a cup of tea or coffee, and let's take this journey together.
Part 1 The Fear When I first started learning English, I was afraid to open my mouth.
Not just shy.
Afraid.
At school, I loved reading and writing.
But speaking?
That was different.
Every time I tried to speak, my heart would race, my palms would sweat, and I would feel small.
Like I didn't belong.
I remember one moment clearly.
