Speaking on the Platform

The bell was ringing. Mr. Shi， who teaches us English， came into the classroom with a big smile on his face. It was a demonstration class， and I was a little excited.

Everything was going on well. The smile on Mr. Shis face suggested that he was satisfied with our performance. In the end of the class， he asked， “Who would like to come up to the platform and repeat the story？” I can read his hope in his eyes.

This would be a good opportunity to practise my spoken English. But I hesitated for one or two minutes. “If I go to the platform and speak there， but forget the story or make mistakes， what can I do？” I asked myself.

I looked up and saw Mr. Shi smiling at me. “Be brave！” he said to the class.

I stepped onto the platform and began to repeat the story. After I finished， I returned to my seat. My heart was beating faster than ever. The girl sitting beside me said， “Good work！” and I smiled.
