My First ULBS for English

ULBS is an important part of my English exam. This is why Im always checking my notes for the presentation and constantly looking out for any mistakes. As preparation, my teacher decided to let us talk and present about our favourite book in front of our juniors. I was a nervous wreck, with sweaty palms and shaking legs when i walked in the classrooms of my form 1 juniors.

Sometimes i wonder about my future, if I couldn't talk smoothy without being this nervous in front of a class of 30, how can I present or talk about a proposal in front of successful businessmen and businesswomen. Fortunately, that happened only for the first class i talked about my in, for the following classes, the audience was my friendly and talks to me, giving morale support. They gave me a vote of confidence that no one has ever given.

My English teacher chose her victims by having a lucky draw. The first presenter will choose the next victim after his or her presentation. This is the only first time that Im ever grateful for my bad luck during a lucky draw as i was the last to be picked, the person who never came to school not included. I quickly went in to talking about the book that I read for 3 times a month, and staring at the back of the class. Some of my friends tried to distract and make me laugh, but i quickly dismissed them from my mind by thinking about the story of the book.

At the end, I achieved a good score of 26 out of 30. I was proud of my marks but I believe that can do better if I wasn't nervous.
