Blog 4: Epiphany

Sometimes,you were afraid of something which was going to happen. But when it doesn’t happen as planned, you will become eager for it and feel regretful for its breaking the appointment. The premise is that the thing finally will happen, anyway.

Today,that “you” is me and the “something” is my oral presentation. To be honest, I was a little afraid of doing oral reports or presentations or any other such kind of jobs, because of my poor oral English. I had been worrying about today’s oral presentation from last Sunday, the day I began to preparefor it. From then on, every day I felt uncomfortable and always thought about what if I failed to present it well. I even wished today wouldn’t come. However, I couldn’t stop the time.

I am No.18, the last one to present. Even though the whole morning was for us to do the presentations, since everyone had question time, there was only 20 minutes left when Mengdan (No.16) came to the stage. How to describe my feelings then? I don’t know. Maybe I felicitated that probably I wouldn’t show up? But when Mengdan finished and teacher said “one more last, and next week to finish all”, I was shocked. The time indeed seemed not abundant but it still had the possibility to do two, I thought. Instantly, I realized that this thought had given me away already: I was not afraid any more, on the contrary, I looked forward it somehow.

It’s the will of heaven? Maybe I can prepare for my oral presentation better since I still have one week. As I stated at the beginning, I’m eager for its coming now. So why not to choose to prepare it with good mood at the very beginning?

Yeah, I will.

  2. I agree with Zhou Jieliang. Your voice sounds really fantastic and the pronunciation is also fairly good. Just be more confident!~ As we are both Wuhaners, I believe you can move further with the spirit of Wuhan city- never give up!

  3. Hi Zhukai,we can not foreretell what would happen next minute. So no need to blame what you had thought in a totally different situation. But to be honest I sometimes have the same feeling as you had. Wish you could do your best in your presentation next week.

  4. OK, my comment comes so late that I have already listened to your oral presentation and your last oral report of phase 1. I think you did pretty good on that. Believe in yourself! Hope you won't be afraid of that any more!
