However, when she reached the most important part, she saw two students in the front row 4 to each other. Suddenly, she felt less sure of herself. “Are they laughing at me?” she thought. Her voice became 5, and she stumbled over a few words.
But then she 6 what her teacher always said, “Focus on the people who are listening.” Emma saw a kind-looking teacher in the third row nodding encouragingly. This gave her strength. She took another breath and 7 her voice, speaking the last sentences with all her heart.
