I find it really hard to express myself in class . I have lots of ideas , but they never seem to come out of my mouth .   let me give you a little advice . You know what the topics are going to be , so prepares what you would like to say in advance .   I often do , but I ’ m worried about the responses from other people .   you have to be realistic . Not everyone is going to agree with you , but people will respect your opinion and they will respect the fact that you have contributed something to the discussion .   I ’ m worried that what I say will not make sense .   we could chat about the topic before class . I could check that what you want to say is logical and it would also give you a chance to practice speaking .   that ’ s a good idea . What should I do if I am in two minds about a topic ?   that ’ s easy . Express possibilities . People will think that you are pretty smart to be able to look at the topic from more than one angle .   I didn ’ t realize that speaking in class could be so easy .
