Читать книгу A Smart Girl's Guide: Knowing What to Say - Patti Kelley Criswell - Страница 5

Dear Reader,

Have you ever been stuck searching for the right

words, but just couldn’t find them? You felt yourself

freezing up, forgetting, stuttering, or even hurting

people’s feelings without realizing it—or realizing it,

but not knowing how to handle the situation in any

other way.

It happens to everybody, but you can make it happen

less often with a few simple tips, tricks, and tools—

and a whole lot of practice!

Find a friend, a sister, a parent, or a mirror, and imag-

ine yourself in one of the situations inside—we have

more than 200—and practice using these words.

In no time at all, you’ll be able to say exactly what

you want to say when you need to say it, whether

you’re ordering in a restaurant, answering a question

at school, or standing up for a friend. You’ll learn the

words to handle almost any situation—and you’ll be

able to speak with confidence and grace.

Your friends at

American Girl
