Introduction

Each of us has experienced moments that have made us feel uncomfortable or even embarrassed. While these moments might make us feel uneasy at the time, they can also teach us something about ourselves. How we react or how we learn to react in similar situations in the future can be valuable lessons. These life lessons might even help us to avoid awkward situations in the future.


In this exercise, you will read some advice about coping with awkward or embarrassing moments. Then you will write about an awkward or embarrassing situation and write how you would react to it.
