 I think the first time I talked in a foreign language was when I was in 3rd grade.

• It happened at school.

• My English teacher made me speak about myself in English with another classmate.

• I had learned about English alphabets in kindergarten and I could even write simple sentences in English by that time.

• However, I had never spoken a sentence aloud.

• So, I was really nervous.

• My teeth were clattering and my whole body was shivering.

• It took me a lot of time to think what I should talk about.

• Eventually I think I talked about name, my hobbies, my parents name and their profession.

• I think it was a short three sentence introduction.

• My teacher guided me and corrected me whenever I made a mistake.

• The first sentence took me more than thirty seconds but as I spoke more, I got more and
more comfortable.

• After each sentence my other classmates clapped and that also boosted my confidence.

• After my turn, my teacher made all the other students do the same.

• She made pairs and made everyone come to front and talk about themselves.

• I could see that everyone went through the same feelings as me.

• My other classmates were also nervous like me, some of them were even sweating.

• But after speaking, we all felt so much better.

• I couldn’t wait to reach home and tell my mother how I spoke in English.

• Gradually, I got more and more comfortable with English.

• But that first time I spoke in English, is something I can never forget.
