考研英语作文1400字：我人生的真正考验(A real test in My life)

how much time had passed by, i didn’t know. my audiences were still waiting, patiently and without signs of rushing me. gradually found myself back, stammering out my speech. finally i finished. after what seemed to be a hundred years, i found my audience applauding. i made it!

from then on, my fear for talking before an audience disappeared. actually with my confidence building up, i now turn to be a great speaker. looking back, i know the greatest obstacle on our way to success is our fear; overcome it and let our potential out, and we will make to our goals
