I think our life would be very boring without challenges and I think it’s not only make life more exciting but also more meaningful and challenges also help with become more mature. So today I’d like to tell you about my biggest fear, public speaking. So as you may know, students often have homework about presentations in every subject, so am I. So every day if the teacher give us a presentation, a group presentation, it would be a daunting task for me because I am afraid of speaking in front of people. So I usually refuse to take responsibility in this part but in this presentation I have to be responsible to this part. So the weeks ago I just got a presentation about the Japanese country and it requires 10 minutes talk. So at first I confused but I went to my old teacher and asked for advice. So she give me some tips that memorize the content and divide it into small parts. And also she said to me that I should practice with my friends for a few days before the main presentation. So I applied all the tips and I was surprised because I got a successful presentation. So my present teacher told me that I did a good job and make clearly progress. I realized that we should accept our fears and make change to overcome them.

I think our life would be very boring without challenges, and I think they not only make life more exciting but also more meaningful. Challenges also help us become more mature. So today, I'd like to tell you about my biggest fear: public speaking. As you may know, students often have homework involving presentations in every subject, and so do I. Every time the teacher gives us a group presentation, it feels like a daunting task for me because I am afraid of speaking in front of people. I usually refuse to take responsibility for this part, but in this presentation, I had to be responsible for it. A few weeks ago, I had a presentation about Japan, and it required a 10-minute talk. At first, I was confused, but I went to my old teacher and asked for advice. She gave me some tips: to memorize the content and divide it into small parts. She also suggested that I practice with my friends for a few days before the main presentation. I applied all the tips, and I was surprised because I had a successful presentation. My present teacher told me that I did a good job and made clear progress. I realized that we should accept our fears and make changes to overcome them.
