When I was a ten-year-old girl, I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life”. To talk before the whole class! Just imagine how 1 (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes fixed upon me. I had no other 2 (choose), though. First I was to draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake to me, because I was a good writer----something to pride myself in.

But the hard part 3 (lie) in my oral presentation; to read from 4 paper was not allowed; I had to give the speech 5 my memory and in front of such a big audience! A real trial began when I stood on the platform with my legs 6 (tremble) and my mind blank. How much ti me had passed by, I didn’t know. My listeners were still waiting, patiently and without any signs of rushing me. Gradually found 7 back, giving out my speech with difficulty. Finally I finished. After 8 seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding. I made it! From then on, my fear for talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the 9 (great)difficulty on our way to success is our fear; overcome it, 10

we will be able to achieve our goals.
