I was _____212_____ about the decision, finally agreeing to compromise (妥协). I wasn't the only speaker—I would _____213_____ the honor with five other students. Still, it was doubtful whether the task was _____214_____ me. How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people
Graduation day soon arrived and, as _____215_____, I was nervous. I'd been practicing my speech for days, and I had it _____216_____. But I had never been so _____217_____ in my life. The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my _____218_____ came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the platform without falling down.

Now I still have the _____220_____ of that speech. My voice trembled a little, but _____221_____ it was clear and strong. I'm proud of that tape. I achieved something I'd never _____222_____— I spoke in front of hundreds of people. _____223_____ I didn't realize it at the time, the successful completion (完成) of that speech gave me the _____224_____ to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my _____225_____.
