I was told yesterday by C.M Tan about a debate meeting today on the second recess...
I went and informed the others yesterday...
And today arrives...
We were all waiting for the teachers... I actually thought I'm late already, but i didn't see any of the teachers there... So I went and look for them... And the funny part is, one of them is sleeping, and the other one is missing.... The whole group have been waiting for them for almost 10-20 minutes....
I woke the sleeping teacher up while the others go look for the missing teacher...
Finally, everyone is there... And we started our meeting...
Before I proceed further, I just wanna say that this year is my 1st year joining the school's debate team... I'm nervous of course, not only during the auditions, but also the meetings...
To be honest, I'm not perfect in the English Language... Just, normal...
My classmates may thought that I'm the class' best, but when I'm mixed up with the government, private or international school's student, I might be one of the worst among them...
These years, I seldom speak Chinese as my school is speaking in Mandarin... If I speak English in school, the people there will look at me in a cursing and evil way... Such weird people...
Well anyway, I did an embarrassing thing to myself today during the meeting...
I asked them for the "number" of a particular day instead of using the word "date"...
It may seem to be a minor problem, but try saying this in front of a bunch of people...
Total influence from Mandarin... Translation...
I'm rusted... My "brain sauce" -dried up...
Even though the people there didn't laugh at me, but I knew that they start to look at me from a different angle... A cheap person who comes in just for the certificate in the team...
Well, of course, I will make this disappear... I will prove to them that I can make myself a better person... I know that I have been making fake promises for the past years...
For now, I want to improve myself, the first step is to improve my English Language...
To the level which will make people nervous after hearing my voice and feel totally impressed...
I want to let those people know that I'm not weak and useless!!! I CAN DO IT!!!
