question:A narrative writing about my first time speaking infront of an audience, right through to the end of that first speech. I have never been one for public speaking. As a matter of fact, I once took a lower grade on a project just so I wouldn't have to give an oral presentation. The thought of speaking in front of a crowd made my stomach turn and my palms sweat. But little did I know that my job one day would require me to do just that. After taking a new job, I was tasked with presenting a new initiative infront of my colleagues. I was mortified. How could I, a person who couldn't even speakup in a group of five people, present to a crowd of fifty? But I wasn't about to let my fear get the best of me. I spent hours upon hours preparing and rehearsing my presentation. I would record myself, listen back, and make adjustments as needed. I even went as far as to present to my family and a small group of friends to get comfortable speaking infront of a crowd. Finally, the day arrived and it was time for me to present the initiative. I woke up early that morning feeling like I was going to throw up. My stomach was filled with butterflies and my palms were sweating just thinking about what was to come. But as I arrived at the office and started to setup, something strange happened. I started to feel a sense of calm wash over me. Maybe it was the early morning coffee, or maybe it was the countless hours of preparation, but I started to feel more at ease. As I began my presentation, my voice was shaking and my hands were still sweating. But with each passing minute, I started to gain confidence. I looked out at the crowd and saw my colleagues staring back at me, all eager to hear what I had to say. I took a deep breath, and instead of focusing on my fear, I focused on the message I was trying to convey. Before I knew it, my presentation was over and the crowd was applauding. I had done it. I had faced my fears and presented to a crowd of fifty people. It was an incredible feeling, knowing that I had pushed past my comfort zone and succeeded. As I walked off the stage, I was met with congratulations and praise from my colleagues. It was a surreal experience, and one that I will always remember. And although I still get nervous speaking in front of a crowd, I know that I am capable of overcoming that fear and delivering a successful presentation. Some areas which need improvement in this writing is making the story flow more smoothly from beginning to end and incorporating more descriptive language to engage the reader into the writers world. Also to convey the emotions that were experienced during that first speech.
answer:Here's a revised version of your narrative that addresses the areas you mentioned: Public speaking had always been my Achilles' heel. The mere thought of standing in front of a crowd made my stomach twist into knots and my palms slick with sweat. I recall opting for a lower grade on a project just to avoid the dreaded oral presentation. But, little did I know, my future job would demand I face this fear head-on. It happened when I took on a new role and was tasked with presenting a new initiative to my colleagues – a crowd of fifty. My mind reeled in horror. How could I, a person who struggled to speak up in a small group, possibly command the attention of so many people? But, I was determined not to let my fear define me. I devoted hours to preparing and rehearsing my presentation. I'd record myself, listen back, and make adjustments, tweaking every detail until I felt somewhat confident. I even mustered up the courage to present to my family and a small group of friends, gradually becoming more comfortable with the sound of my own voice. The day of the presentation arrived, and I woke up feeling like I was going to be sick. My stomach churned with butterflies, and my palms were slick with sweat at the mere thought of what lay ahead. But, as I arrived at the office and began to set up, a strange calm washed over me. Perhaps it was the early morning coffee or the countless hours of preparation, but I felt a glimmer of composure. As I began to speak, my voice quivered, and my hands still trembled. But, with each passing minute, I found my footing. I gazed out at the sea of expectant faces, and instead of focusing on my fear, I homed in on the message I was trying to convey. I took a deep breath, and my words started to flow more smoothly. I spoke with conviction, my passion for the initiative shining through. The audience listened intently, their eyes locked onto mine, and I felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins. Before I knew it, my presentation was over, and the room erupted into applause. I had done it. I had faced my fears and presented to a crowd of fifty people. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming – a mix of relief, pride, and elation. As I walked off the stage, I was met with congratulations and praise from my colleagues. It was a surreal experience, one that I will always treasure. And although I still get nervous speaking in front of a crowd, I know that I am capable of overcoming that fear and delivering a successful presentation. I made several changes to enhance the flow and engagement of your story: - Added more descriptive language to help the reader visualize and connect with your emotions (e.g., stomach twist into knots, palms slick with sweat, glimmer of composure). - Emphasized your emotional journey, from fear to confidence, to create a more compelling narrative arc. - Varyed sentence structure and length to improve the flow and pacing of the story. - Added sensory details (e.g., the sound of my own voice, the sea of expectant faces) to bring the reader into your world. - Showed, rather than told, your growth and confidence, allowing the reader to experience it alongside you.
question:Write an engaging and descriptive summary of your experience presenting infront of the audience. Here is a rewritten account of how I felt after presenting infront of the audience. As I stepped off the stage to the sound of applause, I was overcome with an incredible mix of emotions - relief, pride and a deep sense of satisfaction. The weight of my fear had finally been lifted off my shoulders, and in that moment, I felt invincible. It was as if I had been holding my breath for so long, and I could finally exhale. I thought back to all the hours of preparation, the rehearsals, and the self-doubt. It had all been worth it. I had faced my fears and pushed past my comfort zone, and in doing so, I had discovered a strength within myself that I never knew existed. This summary is good but needs some tweaks to convey even more of that sense of pride, relief and satisfaction of overcoming the fear of presenting to an audience. Here is my suggestion on how you can improve it: Use even more descriptive language to paint a vivid picture in the readers mind. Think carefully about the choice of words to convey the emotions of relief, pride, and satisfaction. Consider using metaphors or analogies to describe the experience of presenting and the feeling of overcoming fear. Add sensory details to bring the experience to life for the reader. Show the reader how I have grown or changed as a result of this experience. Here is an updated version incorporating some of these suggestions: As I stepped off the stage, the thunderous applause enveloped me like a warm hug, dispelling the lingering doubts that had threatened to hold me back. The weight of my fear, which had felt like a boulder on my shoulders, finally lifted, and I felt an overwhelming sense of liberation. It was as if I had been holding my breath underwater for an eternity, and I could finally break through the surface, gasping with relief. Every hour of preparation, every rehearsal, and every sleepless night had been worth it. I had faced the monster that had haunted me for so long - the fear of public speaking - and I had emerged victorious. As I walked away from the stage, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment that I had never felt before. I had discovered a strength within myself that I never knew existed, a strength that I knew would stay with me for the rest of my life. I had finally found my voice, and I was eager to use it. Here is another revised and improved version incorporating further tweaks to convey the emotions of relief, pride, and satisfaction of overcoming the fear of presenting. As I stepped off the stage, the roar of applause was like a tidal wave that washed away my doubts and fears, leaving me feeling exhilarated and triumphant. The weight of my anxiety, which had felt like a physical burden, finally lifted, and I felt an overwhelming sense of freedom.

Every moment of uncertainty, every sleepless night, and every rehearsal had been worth it. I had confronted the fear that had held me back for so long, and I had come out on top. As I walked away from the stage, I felt an unshakeable sense of pride and satisfaction.
