classroom, I heard a booming voice behind me.
I felt awkward and had to look down at my book during the competition. There was only a little applause when I left the stage.
There was no time to practice at lunch time and I read from my book instead of reciting the poems. As I left the stage, there was only some quiet applause. I
was not surprised when I came last in the competition.I tried, and failed to practice during the lunch break . The result? I couldn’t remember any of the poems and had to keep looking down at my book. The more I looked down, the redder my face
became. I felt tense and dizzy. When I left
the stage people didn’t applaud very
loudly and it came as no surprise that I was last in the competition.layoutintroductionbeginning of the narrativeconclusiondevelopment of the narrativea) really sleepy =
