第一次上讲台-SpeakingonthePlatfor

Speaking on the Platform

The bell was ringing. Miss Wu, who teaches us English, came into the classroom, a big smile on her face. Several other teachers of our school had come to visit her class. I knew it was a demonstration① class, and I was a little excited.

Everything was going on well. All of us were listening to our teacher attentively and, when we answered questions, our answers were correct and clear. The smile on her face suggested that she was satisfied with our per formance. Towards the end of the class, she asked,“Who would like to come up to the platform②and repeat the story?”While sayin g these words, she looked at all the students with an expression of hope in her eyes.

How I wanted to jump onto the platform and give an excelle nt performance before the whole class! This would be a good opportunity to practise spoken English. But I hesitated③ 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 as ked my self.“Will my classmates and the teachers laugh at me?”

I looked up a nd saw Miss Wu smili ng at me.“Be brave!”she said to the class.

I stepped onto the platform quickly and began to repeat the story wit h confiden ce. I said one sentence after another, thinking of nothing but the story. After I finished, I returned to my seat, my hea rt beating faster than ever. The girl sitting beside me said,“Good work!”and I smiled.
