Speaking on the Platform

第一次上讲台
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.

铃声响了。教我们英语的吴老师脸上带着微笑走进教室。我们学校的其他一些老师都来听她的课。我知道这是一个公开课，我有点激动。
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.

一切都进行得很好。我们都用心听我们老师讲课，我们回答问题时的答案是正确，清晰的。她脸上的微笑表示她很满意我们的表现。接近这堂课的尾声时她问，“谁愿意来讲台上复述这个故事？“在说这些话时，她用充满着希望的眼神看着所有的学生。

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?”

我多么想跳上讲台，在全班面前展示一个优秀的表演！这是练习英语口语的好机会。但我犹豫了一两分钟。“如果我去讲台演讲，忘记了故事或犯错误，我该怎么办？“我问我自己。”我的同学和老师们会不会嘲笑我呢？“
I looked up and saw Miss Wu smiling at me.“Be brave!”she said to the class.

我抬头看到吴老师微笑地看着我，对着全班说“勇敢点。"
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.

我迅速的走上讲台开始自信的复述这个故事。我说完一句又一句，脑子里除了故事什么都没想。我讲完后回到座位上，心从未跳得现在这么快。坐在我旁边的女孩说，“干得好！”之后我笑了。
