Confidence(自信) is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态度). A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. The following is about how to be more confident.
Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
Play sports.Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.
Pick up a hobby.If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.
Get rid of (消除) fear.Fear comes along with failure (失败). But it's easy to overcome (克服) if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

Do you see a robin (知更鸟)? Robins are common birds that live in Asia, Europe and Africa. They are small, about 14 centimeters long, with the weight of about 20 grams. They have dark heads and red chests.
A good place to see robins is your own backyard. Robins don’t seem to mind being around people. You may also see robins on lawns (草坪) in parks. They like eating worms and bugs best.
Early in spring, robins build their nests in trees. Some robins can live up to 12 years. These birds may build 20 or even 30 nests in their lifetime! The nests are made of grass, sticks and mud. The mud puts everything together.
The mother robin lays one egg for three or four days. She sits on them to keep them warm. The eggs are blue. After the babies hatch (孵化), both the mother and the father feed them.
Most robins stay at one place through the four seasons. But some of them will fly to southern countries in winter.
