英語ストーリー（english story）
タイトル：The Big Presentation
Tom works at a marketing company. One day, his manager asked him to give a presentation to an important client. Tom knew he had to prepare well. First, he planned what he would say and prepared a PowerPoint. Then, he arranged a practice session with his coworker, Lisa.
Lisa helped him by giving feedback. “You need to speak more clearly,” she said. Tom listened and made changes. He also made sure to get ready early on the day of the presentation. He wore a clean suit and printed his report.
When he arrived at the meeting room, everything was in order. He felt ready and prepared. The client listened carefully and was very impressed. “Great job,” his manager said.
Tom learned that when you prepare and plan, you can succeed. He promised himself to never neglect his duties again.
