When I first know the news that my school will have a serval of contests about English ,so I sign up a recital contest ,but my teacher suggested me to try that speech ,so I was in ,and I won ,it's about a chart ,and described it ,and all I needed to do is just wrote a article and remember it ,and say it on the stage ,so I guess if I don't feel nervous ,I probably won ,so I did ,even thought I feel nervous ,but I tried my best to don't like I just recited it but say it ,to think about it .so when I know I won ,and my teacher told me ,I need to took part in the final speech at another city ,and my classmate and I went to that city ,but this time is different from my school one ,I just have 20 minutes to prepare it ,and yes I lost ,I got a third prize ,but everybody can got third prize but who won the first prize and second prize ,but I think it's good , because I feel more confident than before ,and now if I speak at public (not that have so much people )I don't feel nervous ,so next year ,I have a guide contest ,so good luck for me . that's it , hope somebody can help me ,and correct me . thanks
