Lucy was a shy girl. Speaking
in front of
the class was always so difficult. Her face would turn red
with
so many eyes on her. Her biggest challenge was the upcoming English speech contest. Her teacher, Miss Li, encouraged(鼓励) her. “Don’t be
afraid
, Lucy.
Calm
yourself down,” she said. “Remember, as long as you
practise
hard, you can do it.” Lucy decided to give it a
try
. She spent every afternoon
practising
. She stood in her room, imagining a large audience. At first, her voice was soft. But she stuck to her plan. The competition day arrived. Lucy was nervous. She
looked
at the crowd and felt her heart beat fast. But then she saw Miss Li smiling at her. That smile made her
feel
so warm that she suddenly found courage. She took a deep breath and began to speak. Her voice was clear and confident. She spoke with joy about her dream. When she
finished
, the applause was so loud. Lucy felt like she was on top of the world.
