I participated in the speech contest of Jiayin English class some time ago. The theme of my speech is Snow White.
It is not easy to write a speech in English. It took me three days to finish it. After writing, I spent two days marking stress and pause, and adding actions where appropriate. After that, I only have three days to practice.
So for three days, as long as I have time to practice, I won't let go for a second, and I won't rest until I have memorized the manuscript. After all, three days is fast. In a blink of an eye, I came to the competition venue of Jiayin English.
I am 16, the penultimate player, which means there is 15 player in front of me. As the broadcast sounded, the first contestant came on stage and began to speak, followed by the second and third ... Seeing that they all spoke so well, I began to doubt my ability. At this time, I suddenly heard the broadcast: "Please welcome 16 Li to give a speech on the stage."
My heart was pounding and I walked onto the platform with a smile on my face. As soon as I got on the podium, the tension in my heart somehow disappeared. I took a deep breath and began to tell the story.
The audience was silent, and I felt like I was in the story. Stepmother's worry about Snow White eating poisonous apples; The joy that Snow White and the prince live a happy life comes from my voice. With a "thank you", my speech ended and the audience applauded warmly.
I went back to my seat and waited for my prize, but the radio said, "There is a 20-minute break here. After the break, please invite contestant 17 to give a speech. " I don't care about anything I went to the small shop at the door and bought a lot of snacks. I sat in my seat and began to eat. Actually, I didn't buy snacks because I was hungry, but mainly to kill time. Sure enough, 20 minutes passed quickly as soon as the snacks were touched. After the speech of contestant 17, it's time to award prizes.
First of all, I won the third prize. I'm not in there. Although my English is quite good, I'm still worried that I won't win the prize.
Here comes the second prize. There were only six people in the second prize, and my heart was pounding. The second prize hasn't registered my name yet.
I am in a hurry, and there is only one thought in my heart: it's over, I won't get the prize again this time.
Just listen to the radio and say, "This is the classmate who won the first prize this time." I suddenly collapsed in the chair. How much energy and time I spent on this competition! Suddenly, the radio actually said, "There is no first prize. 16 Li! " I jumped up happily, cheering like no one's watching, and my efforts were not in vain! Words can't describe the joy.
Through this incident, I understand a profound truth: efforts will certainly be rewarded!
