完形填空 It was my sophomore (二年级学生) year in college, and I had issues finding confidence in public speaking. During class presentations, I spoke with the 1 voice and did not make eye contact at all. My teacher Mr. Coello was always a 2 in public speech. He was always confident, happy, and giving 3 words to everyone. During a class project, he told the class, "I will help you become the best leader you can be." I did not 4 him. He said the project was 5, "Talk for two minutes about your favorite topic. Anything you 6!" For a week, my classmates and I spent hours 7 our two-minute presentation. Some found they needed more time, so they 8 their words. Others realized they did not have 9 words to say, so they changed their topics. The day 10 came. We all presented. We listened to all types of topics. From soccer and music to traveling and food. I was the 11 one. I spoke for two minutes about heroes in movies. I explained the topic, gave examples, and opened a 12 section for my classmates to join in. I was on fire! From that day on, Mr. Coello never let me go last again, and my confidence 13. And this year, I celebrate 23 years of teaching.
