英语记叙文 难忘的经历

I always get oppressed by the fear of showing myself in public because every time I perform in front of people I experience a twinge of embarrassment at the thought that others’ are casting their eyes on me, so I always watch chances slipping by me, and regret.

Several days ago, I attended a lecture given by a successful graduate. In his speech, he emphasized the importance of selling oneself to others. To do this, one must be confident and be good at expressing himself. At last he concluded his lecture with some free questions. When he asked whether someone had some questions to ask, I want to tell him about my concern. So I began to organize my question. Mr Gao, I dare not speak in front of the public? What a simple and stupid question! If I ask him this, people will definitely laugh at me. So I hesitated every time he gave the opportunity to us. I watched other students standing up, putting forward their question and sitting down, one by one. I kept telling myself:” I will be the next”, but every time one student finished the inquiry, I just watched the chance slipping by. At last, I did not seize the opportunity.

After the lecture, I felt terrible and blamed myself for my lack of courage. Then I decided to text Mr Gao to tell him my puzzle and ask for some advice. So I did.

That night, I got a phone call from him, which surprised me a lot. He advised me not to care too much how other people think of me, and encouraged me to seize every opportunity in my life.

The other day in the morning, I challenged myself.

We were raising our English Club’s profiles by reading aloud on the ground with a group of students. The leader Leo wanted someone to be volunteer to be the pioneer of the group and read aloud in front of them. When his words heard, all the students began to whisper and murmur. At that time, Mr Gao’s words flashed by my mind. I, stepped up to him and said:”let me have a try”. With a throbbing heart and sweating hands, I stood in front of the group, and I tried my best to make my voice as loud as possible. I can feel the eyes on me, and got a feeling of faint. Several minutes later, which seemed to be several hours, I finished my reading.

Walking back to the group, I felt relieved and got compliments from others. I was so proud of myself at that moment, because I knew today I got a big step forward.
