14.I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled A Real Test in My Life before the whole class at the age of 9!You can imagine how(71)terribly (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that---with so many eyes(72)fixed(fix) upon me.I had no(73)choice (choose) but to prepare for it,though.First of all,I was to draft the speech,which was just a piece of cake for me,a good writer.But the hardest part (74)lay (lie) in my oral presentation from my memory,for to read from the paper was not allowed.The real moment began (75)when I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank.But my (76)listeners(listen) were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me.Gradually I found myself back,giving out my speech with difficulty.After what seemed to be a hundred years,I found my audience applauding---I made (77)it!From then on,my fear of talking before a big audience (78)disappeared (appear).Actually with my confidence building up,I now turn out to be a great speaker.Looking back,I know the greatest difficulty on our way (79)tosuccess is our fear.Overcome it,(80)andwe will be able to achieve our goals.
