  Last week in English class, we did a speaking activity in group. At first, I was kinda nervous ‘cause I don’t really like talking in front of people, especially in English. But after a while, I started to feel okay since my group members were nice and we helped each other a lot. We discussed the topic together and tried to plan what to say. Sometimes we made funny mistakes and just laughed about it. It made the class feel more chill and not so scary. I think that’s what made me more confident to speak. From this activity, I learned that speaking English doesn’t have to be perfect. What’s important is that I try to talk and understand others.

Hope we can do more group speaking next time!

Sometimes, I realize I get nervous when speaking in front of others, and that affects my tone and eye contact. I learned that by staying calm and being aware of my body language, I can make my message clearer and more confident. What I can apply to my dai...
