The Day I Spoke in Front of the Class
I still remember the day I had to speak in front of the class. It was for an English lesson, and our teacher asked each student to give a short presentation about a topic we liked. At first, it didn’t sound too difficult, but when I realized it was my turn, I started to feel nervous.
In the days before the presentation, I tried to prepare, but I kept delaying it. I told myself, «I still have time,» even though I didn’t really use it well. I wrote a few notes, but I didn’t practice speaking out loud. Because of that, I didn’t feel confident at all.
On the day of the lesson, I could feel my heart beating faster. I was sitting in my seat, listening to the other students, but I wasn’t really focused. I kept thinking about what could go wrong. My hands were a little cold, and I felt uncomfortable every time the teacher looked at me.
When my name was called, I slowly stood up. For a second, I thought about saying that I wasn’t ready, but I knew I couldn’t avoid it. I walked to the front of the class, holding my notes tightly.
At first, I couldn’t speak clearly. My voice was quiet, and I made a small mistake in the first sentence. I felt my face getting warmer, but I tried to stay calm. I took a deep breath and continued.
