示范答案：
The best competition I took part in was a speech competition. At that time, I was studying in a high school. One day, after I finished my class, and was going back home, I suddenly saw the poster on the wall. The title was really striking. When I knew that our school was going to organise such a competition, I was not quite sure whether I would join the competition or not.
It asked us to give a prepared speech for 15 minutes, and then I would answer the questions of the judges. After that, I should give a spontaneous speech for ten minutes. I was not sure whether I should take part in the competition. I was not very good at standing in front of a large audience and giving a public speech. I knew that I had to prepare a lot before the competition. I thought that was a good opportunity for me to explore my potential. Like a famous person said, and I can’t remember his name, ‘Nobody can beat you, but yourself.’ I chose to be in the competition as it would be an opportunity to overcome my shyness and nervousness in public.
