part in the contest. They think it will help them improve their speaking skills and become more confident. Besides，they can leam from others. However, 21% of the students won't join in the contest. Some of them are not brave enough to speak in public. Others are afraid that they will fail. What's more, they have to spend a lot of time practicing.
As for me, I'd like to join in the contest. I can make some new friends and challenge myself at the same time.
