示范答案：
I’d like to talk about a time I had to rush to prepare a class presentation last semester.
First, what I had to do—I needed to put together a 10-minute presentation about environmental protection, including making slides, practicing the speech, and preparing a short video clip.
Then, why I had to do this in a hurry—I’d completely forgotten about the deadline! The night before the presentation, my classmate texted me to remind me, and I realized I hadn’t started anything. I only had about 3 hours before I had to go to bed (since class was at 8 a.m. the next day).
As for how well I did this, surprisingly, it went okay. I quickly searched for simple, clear data on plastic pollution for the slides, found a 1-minute public service video online, and practiced the speech twice while walking to class the next morning. When I presented, I stumbled a little on a few points, but I covered all the key information, and my teacher even said the video made the topic more engaging.
Finally, how I felt about it—at first, I was panicking: my hands were shaking while I made the slides, and I kept worrying I’d mess up. But after I finished the presentation, I felt a mix of relief and embarrassment—I knew I should’ve planned better. It also taught me to write down deadlines in my notebook, so I wouldn’t have to rush like that again.
