1. How I Dealt with Stage Fright
1It was not difficult to deal with stage fright. 2+3(During last week’s speech, even though I was full of anxiety, I managed to conquer my stage fright.) How did I do it? 4(First, before I went onto the stage, I closed my eyes to steady my shaking hands and legs.) 5Next, I forced the hot anxiety in my lungs to make room for what I intended to do. 6I then took a deep breath to calm down. 7Finally, I walked onstage with a big smile, and then delivered my speech. After I finished my speech, I saw the audience cheering and applauding. 8My heart was bursting with pride because I had finally conquered my stage fright.
處理上台恐懼症並不困難。上禮拜的演講,雖然我很緊張,但是我還是努力克服了我的上台恐懼症。我怎麼辦到的呢?首先,上台前我閉上眼睛,讓手腳不再顫抖。接著,我趕走心中的焦慮,留空間給我要做的事。然後我深呼吸,讓自己平靜下來。最後,我帶著微笑上台,發表演說。演講完之後,我看到觀眾們在歡呼鼓掌。我心中滿是驕傲,因為終於克服了我的上台恐懼症。

Everybody has different handling their stress and ways are not the same. But we should not neglect that a good method to handle our stress. For example, play basketball, go swimming, go jog, and do exercise… As everyone knows, the importance of health can’t be overlook.
It is listening to the radio that can bring me a lot of fun and release my pressure from school. Thus, I always listen to the radio after some long-tiring hard-working study hours. On listening to radio, I can gather the latest information in the meanwhile. Because the radio is an important mass medium and have a great impact on us. There is no doubt that current events are important as student us now. That is my stress released a kind of way.
To sum up, our lives are full of the different pressure from everywhere, so how do we handle our stress. That is an important lesson. To go along the road, so we have to take a rest.

英文作文(8~10段)
I took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then continued. Before me, the quiet audience focused on each new word, as if I had been a bird, singing out for the very first time. Knowing I had made the right decision[註解1] , I felt the blood return to my pale face, along with a calm, sure feeling. In addition, from somewhere beside me, I heard my voice boom, this time without electronic help. It reached far into the upper balcony, where I could see people no longer bobbing their heads, but sitting fascinated, and maybe amazed at how determined I was.
我深呼吸，暫停一下，然後又開始繼續。在我之前，安靜的觀眾都專注在每個字句上，就像我是一隻鳥，第一次大聲地唱歌。知道我做正確的抉擇，我感到血液流過我的蒼白的臉頰，伴隨著內心的平靜。除此之外，從某地在我身旁，在沒有電子儀器的幫助之下，我聽到我的聲音低沉有力。我的聲音遠達舞台的上方，我看到人們不再搖頭晃腦，而是坐著入迷的聽，或許是對我的決心感到驚訝。
My soliloquy ended. To my surprise, the applause and cheering were so loud that the large room actually vibrated. I appeared humble on the outside, yet my heart was bursting with pride on the inside. I had mastered my greatest fear, along with a big extra does of unforeseen adversity. I had gotten the butterflies and even elephants out of my stomach. At the moment when I looked out on the audience, I believed that this loud cheering was a new kind of elephant thundering in my ears!
我的獨白結束。令我驚訝的是，掌聲與喝采聲頓時響徹整個房間，我表現的很謙虛，但其實我內心卻充滿驕傲。我戰勝我巨大的恐懼，伴隨著一場出乎意料的困境。我很緊張，在那時我所面臨觀眾的喝采聲，我相信這是一種喜悅，穿進我的耳朵!
Then a realization swept over me like a gift. In an instant, I knew—I could do anything! Taking a bow in my white dress, I felt a glow that I would never forget. I realized that within me existed a young woman once tested a— young woman who was bolder than her fear.
之後的輕鬆感襲捲而來，像是給我的禮物。那剎間，我知道，我可以做任何事情；穿著白裙鞠躬，我感到那喜悅可能是我忘不了的。我明白，存在我內心的年輕女人第一次的考驗，一個勇敢多於恐懼的年輕女人。
