Little Journaling (04)
My English Teacher missed some classes and wants to recuperate them and also to give more creative type of classes than we have in the normal, presential classes.
Came the time for the class…I was there…in time, watching some football game aside (Psg vs Club Bruge, Mbappe scored at the first minute I think, good job)
Then I closed the game’s window and focused on the course.
She asked us to write about a topic and then talk about it, we had 15 minutes.
Ok, I wrote rapidly about why I prefer manga over other type of show, I gave three arguments and I could give few more also, I kept it simple and somehow authentic.
Then Came time to speak………..Mega stressed.
I let others start…after each speech, we had a little chat about the topic, giving our opinion about it. I had few comments to prevent but….streeeeeessss, I was shaking, I was terrified…..I knew I would be stressed but not that much xD
Few participants later, same thing, same story, I stayed silent, invisible like a ghost….
At the end of the class, I participated by asking a little question…the teacher noticed my presence and so asked me to talk about my topic.
I talked…teeerribly as always xD but guess what….less bad than I would have expected, and less good than I wanted…
After the session, I knew that I would do better if I find a little shift, I’m in a good way of progression this time…
before the presentiel session, I suggested myself to focus solely on the message, the idea and not how I will try to perfectly articulate it, I’ll even try sometime to improvise and see how I can figure out at the same time…
and it…..worked. xD
Last presential class, best performance so far.
The teacher took notes, and continue to take them at each class. so If I continue as I did before, I’ll eventually fail the class, not because I don’t know what to say, but struggle with How (physically) I can calmly say it. End product : disappointment.
Giving a good impression, even if it’s late xD helps me to stay calm, enter an encouraging momentum and hopefully erase my weakness in the speaking aspect I struggled with since I joined the class.
