X MIPA 1-6 SALAWATI PURBA, M.Hum

Here is my unforgettable experience. One day I joined a story telling contest. Two of my friends and I had been chosen to take part in the final round at the district level. I was very happy and eager to win the competition.

For the preparation, I had to memorize and understand the story well. My teacher guided and taught me pronunciation, facial expression, and gestures. One day before performing, my friends and I were busy to prepare the props and costumes for the competition.

One thing that made me sad was my teacher rented the props and costumes for my friends but not for me. My two friends had beautiful costumes and luxurious props. Although I just wore simple ones, I performed my best to win the competition.

The competition started, I got number 29 and my friends got number 5 and 10. I was nervous but I showed my best performance on stage. Lots of people took photos and videos of me.

Finally, my anxiety was gone after I had finished performing. And then, the announcement came which made three of us very uneasy. Luckily I was chosen as the first winner, I went to the stage and all the judges congratulated me and gave a plaque, trophy, and money. I was very happy.

Why did the writer feel sad before the competition?

• She had no luxurious gown.

• Her teacher really cares about her.

• Her friends did not support her.

• She only had a very simple dress

• Her teacher really cares about her.
