text: please help me!!!? my school will hold an english speaking contest and i really want to take part in but, i  really don't know what to prepare for it  i haven't decide what to say yet. and i  am not very confident in my speaking is there  any one can  give me some advice ? i need them very much. thanks ^ ^ first, take a deep breath...figure out  what to talk about. try to make it something you like/know lots about.  now, dealing with being nervous is an easy one... a) remember that it's only one speech, it won't  affect your entire life. b) nobody can see how nervous u r so it's ok c) everyone else is just as nervous... d) rub ur wrists/earlobes to get rid of nerves (dunno y it helps)
