My son’s school will hold a speech competition in the next next weekend. I still remember last years’ competition moments. I prepared two pages of PPT for my son to gave his speech about his favorite animals. Last year my son was almost 4 years old, and just in the beginning of his English learning. Even he couldn’t speak a long sentence, but when he was standing on the stage, he was confidence.
But now I don’t have a lot of confidence about my son. Because in this years stage, he is too fragile heart. When I speak loudly, he would cry. I encouraged him and say, that’s ok, take it easy. And I try to let myself calm down and not looking angry. I told myself, It’s the baby’s growing process and don’t worry about it.
So I will prepare his new speech PPT about “my family “this task

My boss asked me to prepare some handover and I said yes, I am almost done. He answered, “ok we will review your handover. You can ask your colleagues what they’d like to eat, you can order some food to the office and it’s on me.”
