In this contemporary era, people face many challenges. Here I would like to talk about a challenge I faced during my school time. The challenge was to make a presentation on the environment in English. At that time, I was not able to speak in English, and it was a tough situation for me. I overcame this situation with the help of one of my classmates. She helped me prepare the presentation in English, and I had a fear of speaking in front of an audience. When I started my presentation in class, I was really nervous, and my hands were shaking. After that, my friends and my teacher encouraged me to speak. Then I started speaking. When I finished my presentation, all my classmates started clapping for me, and I felt over the moon. After that, everybody praised my speaking and my presentation, which I made with the help of my friend. My friend really burned the midnight oil to help me with my presentation. I appreciated my friend and gave her a gift at that time as she helped me during that tough situation. With the help of my friend, I overcame this situation, and that was the challenge I faced during my school time.
