copy paste from 1000 English collocation in ten minutes .....this book is extremely great for English learner...

When I was a teenager, I was *painfully shy* (extremely shy). I loved reading books, and I had *a vivid
imagination* (had a creative and colorful imagination). My best friend had a more *outgoing personality*
(she liked to be friendly and sociable) and
*a good sense of humor* (ability to make other people laugh).
Unfortunately she was also *brutally honest*, and sometimes her comments *hurt my feelings* (made me
sad, upset, or angry).
Although I was *fiercely loyal* to her, she *showed her true colors* (revealed her true personality) when she
*played a prank* (did a trick) that humiliated me in front of the class. I *bore a grudge* (continued feeling
angry) against her for years afterwards. Now that I look back on it, I can see that she had *low self esteem* (she considered herself inferior) and a bit of a *mean streak* (a “streak” is a tiny bit of someone’s
personality).
I've *come out of my shell* (become less shy) since those days; I *have a thicker skin* (I’m less sensitive to
criticism) and it doesn't bother me when people *speak their minds* (say exactly what they think, without
considering the effects of the words on others).
My biggest flaw is that I *have a tendency* to be arrogant – some say I *have a superiority complex*
(consider myself superior to others). I’ll admit that it is hard for me to *swallow my pride* (stop being
arrogant) and recognize when I've been mistaken about something. My resolution for the New Year is to
make a more concerted effort to *put others first* (consider the needs of other people more important
