One talk I remember giving was in my school. In a school, I was on one of the best students ever, so that my teacher asked me to speak in front of the school when I graduated. Just talk about my experience, about my thoughts and just give some inspiration for younger students. And initially I felt quite nervous because I was not used to speak in front of so many people. However, once I started talking, I became more confident, especially when I saw my friends, my mother listening carefully, and after I finished my talk, a lot of my classmates, not the classmates, the younger students came up to me and told me that they learned a lot of me. So eventually I felt really proud of myself. Overall it was a great experience. It gave me more confidence in public speaking and also showed me that even a small talk can motivate others. So when I was in my students years I was in America in this English school and I also need to give a talk in front of international students and I understand that I can do it better than it was at cool because I felt more confident that I can talk more about my theme.

One talk I remember giving was in my school. I was one of the best students, so my teacher asked me to speak in front of the school when I graduated. I talked about my experience, my thoughts, and aimed to give some inspiration to younger students. Initially, I felt quite nervous because I was not used to speaking in front of so many people. However, once I started talking, I became more confident, especially when I saw my friends and my mother listening carefully. After I finished my talk, many younger students came up to me and told me that they learned a lot from me. Eventually, I felt really proud of myself. Overall, it was a great experience. It gave me more confidence in public speaking and showed me that even a small talk can motivate others. When I was a student in America at this English school, I also had to give a talk in front of international students. I realized that I could do it better than I did in school because I felt more confident and could talk more about my theme.
