Do you like reading a speech in front of big crowd?

WALT - impress my audience by adding in descriptive details and emotions to my character.

I know this when I add adjectives and dialogues into my narrative.

11:00 o’clock on a Wednesday morning, a girl called Betty practising on her speech for the Manaiakalani film festival. She was going to be on her own because she wanted to do it alone. She wanted it quick and simple. So day after day, time passed and it was finally time to go to Sylvia Park. She tried repeating and repeating her speech so that there wouldn’t be any mistakes in her speech. Her teacher led her to the staff room for Miss Fiddlesticks to drive her to Sylvia Park where the film were going to be played.

She was looking out the window and she wondered how big the audience might be. She hoped that the crowd would be small so that she wouldn't get stage fright. She started practising again in her mind and got bored of it bit by bit. When she got up to her 15th practice, she started to lose her vision and everything became blurry. Then, she fell asleep.

While Miss Fiddlesticks was driving, she noticed that Betty had gone quiet. So she went into the nearest Sylvia Park parking spot. Then she woke her up. "Come on, it's time to go!” They quickly walked until they got to Hoyts cinema. While they were going up the stairs, she saw a big group of students walking out the door. "Miss Fiddlesticks, how many people are in there?" asked Betty.

"Well you see Betty, there will be 7 schools coming here. It'll be so exciting!" answered Miss Fiddlesticks. Now, Betty started to panic in her mind. What if I make a mistake? They'll all start to laugh at me! Betty started to become a little light-headed and her body was stiff as a corpse.

After the whole extreme screen seats were emptied, more schools started to walk in. It felt as if the whole country was coming in! She walked in with Miss Fiddlesticks and held hands so that she wouldn't get lost in the crowd. they walked down the stairs to where a student was coming down. There, the director for setting up the show was arranging the students.

"Oh! So you must be Betty! From uh... Saint Patrick's School!" said the director. "Well in this list you come to the very front." This made Betty even more terrified. "Okay! Now practice time! Let's see what you've got Betty!" The director told Betty. Betty gulped and started to walk up the stairs. She said her quick and simple speech and walked down the stairs. That wasn't so bad! Betty thought.

After all the students had practised, all the schools were finally seated. "Perfect timing!" the director said. So Betty walked up the stairs and said her speech: "In life we have some accidents. Some accidents are not to laugh about because it is embarrassing for the person who has done it. Here is our film about accidents that happen." The crowd cheered for her and Betty accidentally fell off the stage. The audience thought it was part of the speech so they clapped and cheered even harder.

After all the films were shown she climbed on the bus with her class. There people started saying: "Wow Betty! That was awesome. You did great! You represented our school and class so well!" so off they went on the noisy bus, getting back to school all hungry and ready to eat their lunch.
