So one fine day, I found out that on the occasion of Children's Day, all the students were offered the opportunity to speak about their favorite topic, which had to be an influential topic for others. So I decided to talk about an area that really interests me a lot, which is computer and technology. I quickly gathered data on my favorite area and hardly had time to practice 2 to 3 times. And to make matters worse, I got sick on the same day. So I was like a sick dog. But when I got up to speak on the real speech day, I faced the spotlight.
