I was chosen as the class representative for a presentation, and I feel very nervous about it. The presentation is tomorrow, so I am feeling a lot of pressure now. I did not choose this role by myself, but I have to accept it and do my best. Standing in front of many people and speaking in English is very difficult for me. I am afraid of making mistakes or forgetting what I want to say. Because the presentation is so close, I feel tired and worried. I keep thinking about it at home and before I sleep. Sometimes my heart beats fast when I imagine standing in front of the class. However, I try to think in a positive way. I am not giving the presentation alone. I will present it with my group members. They are very kind and friendly, and they always help me. We practiced together many times after school. When someone made a mistake, we helped each other and laughed together. Because of them, I feel a little more confident. Even if I make a small mistake tomorrow, I know my group members will support me. I want to do my best for my group and my class. This presentation is hard, but it is also a good chance for me to grow. I will try my best tomorrow and finish the presentation with a smile.
