Monday morning is an important time at our school. All of the students go to the playground. We listen to music, and we   16   the national flag go up.

　  Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings. One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk. He was   17   and excited! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too.

　  Can I really do it?

　  Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk. My teacher   18   me, “I know you want to have a try. Next Monday, you can give the talk. Go and write something down.   19  for it, I’m sure you’ll do well.”

    “Thank you,” I answered. It was such a great   20   for me! When I got home, I was excited. I wrote two pages for the talk. I read them again and again. When I read, I asked my parents  21 . I wanted to make my teacher happy.

　  Monday morning came. I began to feel   22  . When did I last give a talk to   23   many people? Never! This was my first time. Could I really   24   it ? Maybe I couldn’t finish the talk.

    When I got to school, we all went out to playground. I  25  in front of everyone. I opened my mouth, but I couldn’t say anything.

    “Take it easy,” I said to   26  . “Don’t be nervous. You can do it.”

    Just then, I looked down at everyone. I saw about 1,000 eyes. They were all looking at me ! I couldn’t   27   stand up.

    I looked at their eyes more carefully. Their eyes were saying, “You can do it! Don’t be afraid, just talk!”

    I   28   a big breath. Then I began to talk. It wasn’t hard. It was easy.

    I don’t know   29   I finished my talk. But I did it. I felt so good that day. I showed myself  30  everyone what I can do.
