Intro
It can be scary to deliver a speech in front of an audience. You have to pay attention to what you’re wearing, what you’re saying, and if you have food in your teeth. And what if you mess up? Being under pressure and in the limelight is not for everyone.
Still, don’t worry too much about making a faux pas. Your friends are interested in what you have to say. Try to relax and have fun!
