Practice in front of a mirror
A Hey, what's the matter, Jia?
B I am kids of worried.
The speech competition is in two days and I have developed a complex.
A What's the problem? I don't understand.
B I feel really nervous about talking in front of people.
I don't like the way I sound.
I'm afraid I'll get up there and freeze or worse.
Then everyone will laugh at me.
A Then why are you doing this competition?
B Because the winner gets to go English camp for free.
I really want to go.
A That sounds great. I think I have some ideas to help you.
B Oh, what are they?
A Have you practiced your speech at all?
B No, not yet. I just wrote it.
A Well, in order to do well, you need to practice.
If you practice in front of a mirror, you can see how you look.
And you will feel more comfortable about yourself.
