Mini Exercise: “Which Version of You Spoke Today?” Take 30 seconds and answer this one question: “When I last spoke English under pressure… which version of me showed up?” Was it the one who: rushed, over-explained, searched for perfect words, or tried to sound “correct”? Now ask yourself: “Which version did I want to show up instead?” Write down only one sentence describing that version. That’s it. This small reflection reveals more about your English under pressure than any grammar exercise ever could.
