I was busy preparing in the following week. My plan wasn't to make promises to do things I couldn't2but to show my class why I wanted to be president. I3my posters in hallways and in the classroom.
I also spent three hours writing my speech, saying that I was the one they could turn to whenever they had a problem. Since I was4 prepared, I felt that my chances of winning were strong.
However, when I gave my speech on Election Day, the response (反应) wasn't what I had5. Few people actually listened. When it was my opponent's (对手的) turn, everyone was screaming his name. His speech was short, but all to the point. By then, I realized I should have made mine shorter and clearer.
