1、To me March 28th was a lucky day. It was on that particular evening that I found myself at central stage, in the spotlight. Winning the 21st CenturyEricsson Cup Seventh National English Speaking Competition is a memory that I shall treasure and one that will surely stay. More important than winning
2、the Cup is the friendship that has been established and developed among the contestants, and the chance to communicate offstage in addition to competing onstage. Also the competition helps boost public speaking in China, a skill hitherto undervalued.For me, though, the competition is a more personal

In the course of preparation I somehow rediscovered myself, a truer me.I fouund thaat, aftter alll, II liike commmunnicaatinng wwi
