Monday morning is an important time at our school. All of the students go to the playground. We listen to music, and we 1 the national flag go up. Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings. One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk. He was 2 and excited! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too. Can I really do it? Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk. My teacher 3 me, “I know you want to have a try. Next Monday morning, I want you to give the talk. Go and write something down. 4 for it, I’m sure you’ll do well.” “ Thank you.” I answered. It was such a great 5 for me! When I got home, I was excited. I wrote two pages for the talk. I read them again and again. When I read, I asked my parents to listen to . I wanted to make my teacher happy. Finally Monday morning came. I began to feel 6 . When did I last give a talk to so many people? Never! This was my first time. Could I really do it? Maybe I couldn’t finish the talk. When I got to school, we all went out to the playground.
