#Person2#: Sure, go ahead.
#Person1#: How do you get along with the American students in your classes?
#Person2#: I don't have much contact with them.
#Person1#: Really? Why not? Don't you go up and talk to them?
#Person2#: No, I don't. I'm too afraid of making mistakes in English. I don't want to be laughed at.
#Person1#: You won't get anywhere that way. You're the one who needs to practice English, so you should make the first move. Besides, most American students are really friendly and outgoing. They will be glad to talk to you.
#Person2#: Thanks for the advice. I guess you're right. It's just hard to overcome my shyness. I really will try from now on. I promise.
