I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled: "A Real Test in My Life" before the whole class at the age of 9!You can imagine how (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes (fix) upon me. I had no (choose) but to prepare for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hard part(lie) in my oral presentation from my memory—for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my(listen)were still waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back, giving out my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding —I made! From then on ,my fear of talking before an audience (appear). Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way success is our fear. Overcome it , we will be able to achieve our goals.
