At two o'clock, the competition began.
The hall was full of students who came to watch the play. In the front row were six judges and teachers.
Perny was very nervous at the beginning.
It was already cold in North City in early November. She stood in the middle of the stage in a water blue Strapless long dress and looked at a large group of students. She was shivering, not knowing whether it was cold or nervous. She opened her mouth and spoke in a trembling voice.
Many students in the audience burst into laughter.
After all, Perny had been in class one for two consecutive years. There was no problem with English, but her pronunciation was ordinary. In addition, she was so nervous that she stammered a few words in the middle. On the whole, she managed to finish a speech.
The judges and teachers present gave a comprehensive score of 80 on the opening.
