Audio Passage
“Today was my turn to present in front of the class. I was nervous, but I practiced a lot the night before. I tried to get across my main ideas clearly, using pictures to help. At first, my voice was shaky, but after a few minutes, I felt more confident. Presenting is always a little nerve-racking, but it helps you grow. When I finished, the teacher smiled and said I did a great job. That gave me confidence for next time.”
