I found it very difficult to speak in public. I think it's due to fact that I'm naturally shy.
When I (ask) to deliver a speech in my English class, I just stood still in front of the entire class. I couldn't move or say a word. I remember the classroom was (silence)for several seconds. During that time, I was even more aware of everything around me, the other students staring me, my teacher watching me, and the clock ticking on the wall. It seemed s if the world were standing still. I could feel sweat (drop) down my back. My teacher saw that I was frozen with fear. She finally came up to me and told me (relax), take a deep breath, and start again from the very beginning. Her kindness made me feel better. I finally (get) over my fear and delivered my speech(success).When I finished the speech, my (classmate)all cheered for me!
Now I am still grateful for this experience, for helped me overcome my shyness and build up my confidence.
