Ryan was very anxious about an assignment Mr. Larson had given the class. Everyone
1. Y N in the class was going to have to make a speech about a book, but Ryan had never made a
speech before. Ryans sister, Tracey, asked him what was wrong.
Ive never made a presentation before, Ryan explained. I have no idea how to do it.
2. Y N
Tracey said, Everybody gets nervous before a presentation. But you can do it. First,
you need to write down what you want to say. Then, practice until you really know it. Then,
practice in front of someone so you are really ready.
3. Y N
I guess I could try doing it that way, Ryan said doubtfully. Its better than not doing
anything and embarrassing myself.

make a speech about the book. Ryan didnt want to do the assignment because he was 1. Y N
nervous. But he had to do the assignment. So he decided to take his sister Traceys
advice. After he read his book, Ryan wrote down the things he wanted to say about it.
Then, he organized what he wanted to say. Next, he started practicing. He practiced every
day. Finally, he was ready to practice his speech in front of someone. He asked Tracey if 2. Y N
she would listen to his speech. She agreed to let him practice in front of her. When Ryan
finished his speech, Tracey said, I know youre nervous about giving a speech, Ryan, but I
really think youre ready.

For a moment or two, Ryan still felt very nervous. But as he went through his speech, he felt
less and less like running away. He had practiced often enough so that nothing in his speech
was new to him anymore. It wasnt long before he relaxed a little and was able to almost enjoy
what he was doing. By the time Ryan finished his presentation, he felt almost comfortable.
When Ryan stopped speaking, everyone in the class applauded. Mr. Larson said, That was
a very well-prepared presentation, Ryan. You did an excellent job. Ryan thought about how
much he had practiced to get ready for his speech, and he felt proud. He still didnt like making
speeches, but now he knew he could do it.
