Writing exercise

A great experience I have had in university which I can not forget is an experience to be a presenter of a debate competition. The reason why I think it is great is that it is really an opportunity to train myself thus make me better. Before this competition, I had no facilitation skills at all. So for that competition, I got many practices and wrote a long host draft. I will get so shy when I’m under formal occasions. As a reasult, during the first contest, I made several mistakes, showing stressful. During that period I do feel under pressure. But gradually, I clalmed down and felt more confident. Finally, in totally, I feel my perfermance is not so bad. That is my first time to enjoy speakoing in the stage under formal occasion.

Revised

A great experience I have had in university was the time I had to be a host for a debate competition. The reason why I thought it was great was that it was truly an opportunity to train myself to improve my confidence. Before this competition, I had no facilitation skills at all. So for that competition, I practiced a lot and wrote a long host draft/script. I get embarrassed when I’m in formal occasions. As a result, during the first contest, I made several mistakes due to stress. (During that period I was under pressure.) But gradually, I calmed myself down and felt more confident. Finally, in totally, (in the end), I thought my performance was fine/ I thought I did well. That was my first time to enjoy speaking on the stage in a formal occasion.
