Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public? Are you 26 to make a speech(演讲)?
Lee, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a 27 the other day. Lee thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of his classmates.
"I was wrong. It was different and much harder than talking to my classmates during the playtime," Lee said. "I 28, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute(哑巴) and wanted to leave the classroom 29."
Lee is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same 30. They can talk about their ideas freely with their best friends after class, but can't speak in public. We think schools should pay more attention to 31. They can give students more chances to open their 32, such as speech competitions, English corners and class talking. Students can take part in the activities they like. "During your free time you should 33 more. When you're speaking in public, just make yourself 34. Imagine you are talking to nobody and speak up your 35 clearly," he said. "That makes a fine public speech and you'll feel confident."
