My First Speech Contest 演講初體驗
I still clearly remember what happened during my first speech contest. I was very nervous about talking in front of a large crowd. When it was my turn, I tried to stay calm and walked onto the stage with a big smile. Somehow, I tripped and fell. At that moment, everyone in the audience started laughing.
I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to run away. However, I told myself that things couldn't get any worse. So I got up, took a deep breath, and went on giving my speech. As soon as I finished it, I felt relieved.
At the end of the contest, I didn't expect to win anything. To my surprise, I was awarded a special prize for courage. When I held the prize and saw the audience cheering, I felt proud of myself.
我仍清楚記得第一次參加演講比賽時發生的事。對於要在大批人群前說話，我感到非常緊張。輪到我時，我試著保持冷靜，面帶笑容地走上台。不知怎麼地，我絆倒了。那一刻，所有觀眾都笑了出來。
我尷尬到想要逃走。然而，我告訴我自己事情不會更糟了。所以我爬起來，深吸了一口氣，繼續我的演說。我一講完就覺得如釋重負。
比賽結束時，我不期望贏得任何獎項。令我驚訝的是，我獲頒了一座特別的勇氣獎。當我握著獎座，看著觀眾為我歡呼時，我以自己為榮。
