英語ストーリー(english story)

Title: The Excellent Presentation

Lisa had always been shy, especially when it came to speaking in front of people. So when her teacher asked her to give a presentation at the school event, she was nervous. Still, she saw it as an excellent opportunity to overcome her fear.

She worked hard on her topic, spending hours preparing slides and practicing her speech. Her older brother, who was excellent at public speaking, helped her every night. He told her that a great speaker is someone who practices, not someone who is born with talent.

The day of the event arrived. Lisa walked to the stage in her neat and tidy school uniform. She took a deep breath and began her talk. Her voice was clear, her ideas were organized, and her presentation was filled with wonderful pictures and examples. Everyone listened carefully.

When she finished, the audience gave her a big round of applause. Her teacher smiled and said, “That was an excellent performance!” Even the principal said it was outstanding.

Lisa felt proud. She had turned her fear into confidence. Her classmates told her she had done a superb job and that her presentation was one of the best. Later, her brother said, “See? You used a tried and tested method, and it worked.”

That day, Lisa realized that every challenge is also a chance to grow.
