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.

Answer

The big moment came. I stepped onto the stage, took a deep breath and began to speak. Gradually with great eagerness to do well in the speech contest, I was completely focused on the contents. The optimism and persistence delivered in my speech on “My Hero, Nick” had inspired the judges and audience a lot. They were moved with tears rolling in their eyes.

My efforts undoubtedly paid off. I was awarded “the outstanding speaker”. Holding the certificate, I swelled with pride and a sense of achievement. When I was standing excitedly on the stage, pictures of my teacher helping and encouraging me flashed into my mind. The victory and honor belonged to both of us.

The past contest witnessed my growth. It is not only my enthusiasm but also my belief in myself that impresses others.(138w)
