So I would like to talk about the time when I study that make I feel very confident. It was a time just last, um, two days ago, when during one of my difficult subjects at university is called public speaking. So you can guess from the name of the subject. Right. It means that I need to. To have a presentation in front of a lot of people. Like when I like TDTok videos on YouTube, you know, when we speak in front of the audience on, um, the stage. So, actually, the most difficult thing about this subject is that I didn’t have the time for preparation. I just have only 30 minutes to prepare all the cont content, the PowerPoint slice, and also the speech, the script to talk. Therefore, it’s really difficult. After that, my teacher, she just randomly called the name of the student, and I needed to, and I was chosen, so I needed to talk in three minutes about the top she gave to us. It was about the COVID pandemic. So I was really afraid and nervous, of course, because I didn’t have much time to prepare anything. Um, then I just talk m in about the early 30 seconds. I was really afraid andosedled a little bit, but she still encouraged me. And my classmates, they clapped hands to boost my energy. Therefore, I started to talk with in a more confident manner. And after that, I completely completed my presentation and she gave me a high grade. And I think after that, I fel quite more confident about myself because I knew that I can speak and I can be more eloquent in the future.

I'd like to talk about a recent experience in my studies that made me feel incredibly confident. Just two days ago, I had a presentation in my public speaking class at university. As the name suggests, this subject involves presenting in front of a large audience, much like you see on YouTube or TikTok when people give speeches on stage. The biggest challenge with this particular presentation was the lack of preparation time. I only had 30 minutes to prepare the entire content, including the PowerPoint slides and the speech script. It was incredibly daunting. My teacher then randomly called on students to present, and unfortunately, I was chosen. I had to speak for three minutes on a topic she assigned, which was the COVID-19 pandemic. Naturally, I was terrified and nervous, having so little time to prepare. I stumbled a bit in the first 30 seconds, but my teacher encouraged me, and my classmates clapped to boost my energy. This helped me regain my composure and I started speaking with more confidence. I managed to complete the entire presentation, and to my surprise, I received a high grade. This experience gave me a huge boost in confidence. I realized that I can speak in front of others, and I can be more eloquent in the future.
