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 with so many eyes(fix) on 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 hardest 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 listeners were waiting patiently without any sign of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back, (deliver)my speech without difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years I found my audience applauding—I made ! From then on, my fear of talking before the audience disappeared.
Actually with my (confident) built 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.
