The big day had finally
arrived. I had won the local speech contest (比赛), representing Madison
Middle School. Here it was the state competition. I waited backstage for the
host to announce My name.
Even though I had practiced
much, I was extremely nervous. My heart was thumping, my palms were sweating,
and my mouth was dry. "Calm down," I told myself. Still, picturing an
audience of teachers, parents and classmates made me want to disappear totally.
Mr. Patrick, who taught me
to give speeches, reminded me, "You'll do great. You're prepared. You've
come this far."
Mr. Patrick was right. I
was ready for this, and besides, I won first place in the earlier contests.
Yet, when I pictured all eyes on me waiting for me to mess up, my heart was
gradually sinking into my stomach.
"You can't back out now," I told
myself as Mr. Nichols, the host, announced my name and the title of my speech,
"My Hero."
请你写出接下来主人公演讲的过程,以及演讲结束后激动的心情。
The big moment came.
