Monday morning is an important time at our school.All of the students go to the playground.
We listen to music, and we 1 the national flag(國旗) go up.
Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings.One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk.He was 2 and excited ! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too.
Can I really do it ?
Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk.My teacher 3 me, “I know you want to have a try.Next Monday, you can give the talk.Go and write something down. 4 for it, I’m sure you’ll do well.”
“Thank you,” I answered, It was such a great 5 for me ! When I got home, I was excited.I wrote two pages for the talk.I read them again and again.When I read, I asked my parents 6 .I wanted to make my teacher happy.
Monday morning came.I began to feel 7 .When did I last give a talk to 8 many people? Never! This was my first time.Could I really 9 it ? Maybe I couldn’t finish the talk.
When I got to school, we all went out to playground.I 10 in front of everyone. I opened my mouth, but I couldn’t say anything.
“Take it easy,” I said to 11 .“ Don’t be nervous. You can do it.”
Just then, I looked down at everyone.I saw about 1,000 eyes.They were all looking at me ! I couldn’t 12 stand up.
I looked at their eyes more carefully.Their eyes were saying, “You can do it! Don’t be afraid, just talk !”
I 13 a big breath(呼吸).Then I began to talk.It wasn’t hard.It was easy.
I don’t know 14 I finished my talk.But I did it.I felt so good that day.I showed myself 15 everyone what I can do.
