Homework
When I turned up for my first English speech contest, I was so nervous that I had great difficulty coming up with the words. I failed to concentrate and was about to back out. However, I was greatly encouraged by my teacher’s smiling face, as well as the audience’s warm applause. First, I collected my thought and then I took a deep breath in order to stay calm. Although I was not the winner, I was awarded a special prize of courage, which I thought was too good to be true at that moment.
It was really worth celebrating, wasn’t it
