Speaking on the Platform
第一次上講臺
The bell was ringing. Miss Wu, who teaches us English, came into the classroom, a big smile on her face. Several other teachers of our school had come to visit her class. I knew it was a demonstration class, and I was a little excited.
鈴聲響了。教我們英語的吳老師臉上帶着微笑走進教室。我們學校的其他一些老師都來聽她的課。我知道這是一個公開課，我有點激動。
Everything was going on well. All of us were listening to our teacher attentively and, when we answered questions, our answers were correct and clear. The smile on her face suggested that she was satisfied with our performance. Towards the end of the class, she asked,“Who would like to come up to the platform and repeat the story?”While saying these words, she looked at all the students with an expression of hope in her eyes.
一切都進行得很好。我們都用心聽我們老師講課，我們回答問題時的答案是正確，清晰的。她臉上的微笑表示她很滿意我們的表現。接近這堂課的尾聲時她問，“誰願意來講臺上覆述這個故事？“在說這些話時，她用充滿着希望的眼神看着所有的學生。
How I wanted to jump onto the platform and give an excellent performance before the whole class! This would be a good opportunity to practise spoken English. But I hesitated for one or two minutes.“If I go to the platform and speak there, but forget the story or make mistakes, what can I do?”I asked myself.“Will my classmates and the teachers laugh at me?”
我多麼想跳上講臺，在全班面前展示一個優秀的表演！這是練習英語口語的好機會。但我猶豫了一兩分鐘。“如果我去講臺演講，忘記了故事或犯錯誤，我該怎麼辦？“我問我自己。”我的同學和老師們會不會嘲笑我呢？“
I looked up and saw Miss Wu smiling at me.“Be brave!”she said to the class.
我擡頭看到吳老師微笑地看着我，對着全班說“勇敢點。"
I stepped onto the platform quickly and began to repeat the story with confidence. I said one sentence after another, thinking of nothing but the story. After I finished, I returned to my seat, my heart beating faster than ever. The girl sitting beside me said,“Good work!”and I smiled.
我迅速的走上講臺開始自信的複述這個故事。我說完一句又一句，腦子裏除了故事什麼都沒想。我講完後回到座位上，心從未跳得現在這麼快。坐在我旁邊的女孩說，“幹得好！”之後我笑了。
