Dear Susan,
You asked me about what happened after my family moved to this new city. Well, here is one story I want to tell you.
One day, my parents took me to a story telling show. As the story tellers spoke, their stories really excited me. Suddenly, I had an idea——"I want to be a story teller too!" But I was very afraid of speaking in front of people. I didn't want to lose face. However, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
A few months later, there was a story telling workshop. I joined it. I also signed up（报名） to tell a story in front of people soon after, so I had to do it before I wanted to stop. I just had to face my fears （恐惧）. The first time I went on stage, I was so nervous. My hands were cold, and my heart jumped quickly. But once I started telling the story, I cooled down slowly. When I finished, everyone cheered loudly for me. I felt so happy.
From then on, I practiced telling stories more, sometimes on stage, sometimes at home. A few months later, my story telling got much better. Strangers even told me they enjoyed my stories. I wasn't afraid to talk to new people. My parents were also proud of me.
All of my changes happened because I listened to my heart and faced my fears. I really hope that one day you could come here to watch my show. You would totally be surprised!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Shirley
