Mike:   I can't get the pronunciation right.
Ms Paula: Well, why don't you borrow the teacher's tapes?
         You can listen to them at home after school.

   When I was 14, I was too nervous to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad and could do nothing. Later, something happened and changed my life. My mother asked me to take part in an English speech contest. It meant I had to speak in front of all the teachers and the students .
  "Come on, boy. Just believe in yourself. You are sure to win." Then we talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in yourself". I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With the help of my mother's love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place.
