ANDREA:  What’s wrong, Eric? 
ERIC:         I'm really nervous. I'm always this way on the first day of school. 
ANDREA:  You’re not the only one. It’s hard for me, too. I’m glad we’re taking this class together. 
ERIC:         Do you know anything about the teacher? 
ANDREA:  Uh-huh, a little. Someone told me she gives a lot of homework, and you have to talk a lot in class. 
ERIC:         Oh. no! I’m afraid of talking in front of a lot of people. 
ANDREA:  Oh, don’t worry. Everyone’s afraid at the beginning, but after you get to know the people and make friends . . .
ERIC:         It doesn’t get better for me. I'm shy. I have trouble looking at people when I talk, and my hands shake.
ANDREA:  Look . . . the teacher’s here. Let’s talk after class.
