People always have such feelings, especially when they do 4 for the first time. Before the competition, I spent the most of my free time 5 for it. I felt very tired every day.

The great day finally came. I was the third to make the speech. I felt very nervous and I couldn't remember 6 I would say. I even wanted to cry for help.

A few minutes later, my turn came. I wasn't nervous when I began to make my speech. And I finished my speech with great confidence (自信). Luckily, I 9 the competition in the end.
