Looking back to the National English Speaking Competition I took part in
第 10 页 共 10 页
Several days ago, I have a lot to share with you.
For a start, I feel really delighted that I’ve won first prize in the competition, which makes me understand the true meaning of the proverb “No pain, no gain”. What’s more, in the five-day competition, I established a close friendship with the students from all over our country, from whom I’ve learned a lot. More importantly, taking this competition has enabled me to overcome my fear of speaking in public, thus developing my self-confidence. Additionally, I owe many thanks to my tutor and the judges, without whose help, I couldn’t have done such an excellent job.
To sum up, I will always cherish this meaningful and memorable experience.
