When I was an eleven-year-old girl, I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” 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 choice, though. First I was to draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake for me, because I was a good writer — something to pride myself in. But the hard part (2) (lie) in my oral presentation; to read from (3) paper was not allowed; I had to give the speech (4) my memory and in front of such a big audience ! A real trial began when I stood on the platform with my legs (5) (tremble) and my mind blank. How much time (6) (pass) by, I didn’t know. My listeners were still waiting, patiently and without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back, (7) (give) 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 of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my confidence building up,I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way to success is our fear. (9) (determine) to be successful , you will overcome it. Overcome it, (10) we will be able to achieve our goals.
