Before I even stand in front of the classroom to present my poetry recital, my hands and legs are already shaking. Moreover, when I heard Mr. Dahl shouted out the order, I was even more nervous, because I was the third. Did I feel nervous because I was not fully prepared? The answer is no. I’ve already finished my preparation long time ago. Nevertheless, when I stand in front of everyone, inside my brain is blank. I can remember nothing. It felt really strange because when I was practicing the recital along, I felt pretty easy. When one does a speech in front of many people, he/she is extremely sensitive. It is really simple for the presenter to notice the actions from the audiences under the stage. Any tiny movements can cause the presenter to feel even more nervous and forget what he/she trying to say originally.
When I was presenting today, I keep trying to memorize the poem as much as I could. Although I did not present a perfect recital, I think that was still a fantastic experience for me. However, due to my whole concentration was on memorizing the poem, so I forgot to put emotions and pauses, which was a pity, while I was reciting. Yet, when I was reciting, except the poem’s text, all I wanted to do is finish this task and go back to my seat; because my sweat already came out like flood. Some students forgot few lines today, but I think everyone enjoyed this assignment. I hope I will have another opportunity for this kind of assignment, which enhances my public speaking skills greatly.
