Alright, I’d like to tell you about the time when I feel shy because I’m not used to it. So it was five years ago when I first time, when the first time I entered this office as a civil servant. So that time my leader asked me to present the materials about the civil servant and I need to talk to all guests. So the participants were my leader and all the leaders around Indonesia such as governor, region, major officials and civil servant itself. So that time I felt really embarrassed but I can cope afterwards because today’s before the speech, I was practicing with my friend and then sometimes I spoke in front of the mirror and I asked my friend for the evaluation. If there were any advice besides that, I watched YouTube to how to speak fluent and better and then I learned a lot my materials. So the time I can understood how the material I want to present to all the guests.

Alright, I'd like to tell you about the time when I felt shy because I wasn't used to it. It was five years ago when I first entered this office as a civil servant. At that time, my leader asked me to present materials about civil service, and I needed to talk to all the guests. The participants included my leader and all the leaders from around Indonesia, such as governors, regional officials, mayors, and civil servants themselves. I felt really embarrassed, but I managed to cope afterwards. The day before the speech, I practiced with my friend, and sometimes I spoke in front of the mirror, asking my friend for feedback. Besides that, I watched YouTube videos on how to speak fluently and better, and I learned a lot about my materials. By the time I presented, I understood the material I wanted to share with all the guests.
