I had always felt insecure and out of 38 as one of the 39 members of my class, standing a head above the other girls and bending at the 40 of the line to avoid sticking 41 .

Still, he marched head-on into the streets of New York. Soon he met 54 European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. He felt his faith 55 . When he walked into the church that first time, he walked in proudly.

Drama(戏剧)and the performing arts are excellent methods of building confidence in children and adults alike. Learning through drama allows children to 36 their creativity and have fun while leaving their 37 and worries behind. Drama also works by supporting the growth of imagination and other skills.
Entertainment has become rather passive with 38 , television and video games becoming more popular. These screen-based methods have had a 39 effect on communication. They prevent children communicating with others. 40 , drama puts the children enthusiastic about communication back into entertainment. Children have the opportunity to 41 with others in a more meaningful way 42 drama encourages speech development, awareness of body language and allows children to become more 43 aware.
