Speaking Transcript

Absolutely. I remember a significant episode from my school days when I was selected to participate in a school play. The challenge lay in memorizing an extensive script and the looming apprehension of performing in front of a sizable crowd. I engaged in rigorous practice sessions for several weeks, determined to deliver my best. Despite being riddled with nerves on the day of the performance, I was conscious that it was a hurdle I needed to surmount. Once I commenced my lines, the initial anxiety gradually faded, replaced with an exhilarating sense of enjoyment. The hearty applause from the audience and my teacher’s words of appreciation served as a testament to my efforts. This achievement instilled a profound sense of pride within me, for it symbolized my ability to conquer challenging situations.
