Ví dụ
I love horror games, but I’m sometimes a bit too much of a scaredy-cat to play them all the way through.

I’m not proud to be a scaredy-cat but it doesn’t mean I’m weak. I am committed (muốn) to bringing about (tạo nên) change, I’m just not a fighter. Instead, I am meeting with black people and white people to have uncomfortable conversations. (Not uncomfortable because we have to wear masks and stay six feet apart, but because the topic makes people squirm (lúng túng).) We’re getting things out in the open, crossing dividing lines, and learning. We are becoming friends. I’m not changing the world, I’m changing me.

It felt very unfair, “She was so determined at a young age. I’m a scaredy-cat, like when I go out to eat I always eat the same food. She moved to a new country on her own.” said Nadia about her mother.
