五、阅读理解
When I was a child, I used to be very shy. I was afraid to talk to people I didn't know and I would always hide behind my parents when there were strangers around. I also used to be afraid of the dark. I would always have a light on in my room at night and I would never go outside alone after sunset.
As I grew up, I realized that these fears were holding me back. I started to work on overcoming them. I joined a public speaking club to get over my fear of talking to people. I also started to go for walks at night to get used to the dark.
It wasn't easy, but I managed to overcome both of these fears. Now I am more outgoing and I can talk to people easily. I am also not afraid of the dark anymore. I have learned that we can change ourselves if we want to and that we should not let our fears stop us from living our lives to the fullest.
