记一次英语演讲比赛 An English Speech

Last week, I tookpart in an English speech contest which was held by our teachers. There weretwelve students in the final contest. I was one of them. Fifteen minutes beforemy turn, I picked my topic and prepared for it. I wrote down the outlines andorganized what I was going to say. However, when I stood in front of all judgesand students, I was extremely nervous. My mind was totally empty. Then I took adeep breath to relax myself and started my speech. The result was not as goodas I expected, but I preferred to regard it as a challenge to myself, whoseprocess was the most important for me. I can learn a lot from this contest. I amsure I will be better next time.

上周，我参加了学校老师举行的一次英语演讲比赛。总共有十二位同学进入决赛，我是其中之一。轮到我的前十五分钟，我选好我的主题并做好准备。我写下大纲并组织好要说的内容。但是，当我站在评委和同学们面前的时候，我就很紧张，头脑一片空白。于是我深呼吸使自己放松然后开始演讲。虽然结果不像我想象中的那么好，但是我宁愿把它当做一次对自己的挑战，过程对我来说才是最重要的。我能够从这次比赛中学到很多，我相信下次我一定能够做得更好的。
