Today is a big day for me.
It's my first time to participate
In english public speaking competition!
I found it was totally a big difference from the stage experience that I had,
which is experience from chinese debating.

Actually I start to feel nervous
when the teacher informed me that I am involved in this competition.
And because I need to improve it in a very short time,
my life totally change,
I start to watch English tv shows, read English newspapers,speak English at home!
Yea, and the results have came out,
Most of my friends complimented that
I had improved a lot in speaking.
And I did advanced to the 2nd preliminary round
which is the top 50 among 109 participants!
Failed to advance to the semi-finals,
But I am satisfied because I have did my best! :D
Impromtu speech is still a challenge to me
A great adversity I have to overcome.
Today is unlucky, the topic that I drew was
"Not quite right"
It really is not quite right, because it was only 3 minutes to prepare
a 3 MINUTES speech ! O_O
And I am really not familiar to this kind of topic.
So now what I need to do to improve,
is to read more and speak more.
Oh, and the semi-final session is WOW.
Cause the semi-finalists, really have the quality of it
They speak so well on the stage
and some of them even didn't hold their notes when they speak!
They present it like a prepared speech somehow O_O
Before this, I have already met someone
that I really admired his speaking skills and stage charisma
I honestly look upon him as god, as a role model for me to learn from
And today SERIOUSLY. Those semi-finalists are mother of gods.
I really adored them so much! Their charisma moved me.
Haha, no matter how,
today is a very great experience for me.
I really appreciate every opportunity I had,
to learn and to improve.
:)
Now I am gonna put more effort
to improve more and join this competition again next year! :D
Maybe this have thanks to God
If I am still a prefect
maybe I won't have this chance to grow.
I appreciate everything I learnt from there,
and now I am using those what I learnt
in my life :)
Really.
Thanks to God.
Thanks to one who supports me and encourages me
Thanks to you ❤
You are my motive.
I want to be a star in your eyes.
I will make you proud of me someday
:)
