我一开始思考出行、阅读电子邮件和与同学交谈时，就会把书本知识置之脑后。我在学校里时常感到紧张，担心老师会不会在课上点我，担心自己能否理解老师的问题。

My book knowledge fell by the wayside as I thought about the basics of getting around, reading emails and talking with my classmates, I was often nervous at school, worried about whether the teachers would call on me in class and whether I'd understand their questions.

不要说“我讨厌在公众面前讲话”或“我一点儿也不会用计算机”，而是说“当你在公共场合发言时，你怎么控制你的紧张情绪呢？”

Rather than stating, "I hate public speaking" or "I'm bad with computers," say: "What do you do to control your nerves when you speak in public?"

蜘蛛不会让我紧张，但如果一只黄蜂从任何地方靠近我，我就得躲开了。

Spiders don't bother me, but if a wasp gets anywhere near me, I simply have to leave.
