Lily was a quiet student. She loved reading and drawing, but she was afraid of speaking in front of others. When the teacher asked her questions in class, her face would 1 red and she could hardly say a word.
Last month, her class had a speech contest(比赛). Everyone had to talk about their favorite book. Lily felt 2 and wanted to give up. “I can’t do it,” she told her best friend Amy. Amy patted(轻拍)her shoulder, “Don’t worry. I’ll 3 you practice every day.”
Every afternoon after school, they practiced in the classroom. Amy helped Lily write a simple speech about her favorite storybook. At first, Lily spoke very 4 and forgot her words often. But Amy never laughed at her, “Take your time! You’re doing great.”
As the big day was coming up, Lily felt more confident than before. On the big day, many students spoke well. When it was Lily’s turn, her hands were still 5. She took a deep breath and looked at Amy, who smiled at her.
Lily started speaking. She talked about her favorite character and why she loved the book. Her voice was small at first, but it got 6 as she went on. When she finished, the class clapped(鼓掌)loudly. Lily couldn’t believe it — she did it!
After the contest, her teacher said, “Lily, your speech was wonderful! I’m 7 of you.” Lily felt so happy. She realized public speaking wasn’t as 8 as she thought. With a friend’s help and courage, she could 9 her fear.
Now, Lily is still quiet, but she’s not afraid to speak in public any more. She even dares to answer class questions sometimes. She knows that everyone has problems, but the key is to face 10 bravely. Next time when her class has another contest, she’s already looking forward to joining in.
