Read the text and answer the questions. It was a very important day for Ryan—he was about to make his first public speech. His teacher, Mr. Larson, had assigned the class to choose a book, read it, and then make a speech about it. Ryan had chosen a book he liked. He had read it carefully. Then, he had written down what he wanted to say about the book and prepared a speech. He had practiced his speech many times, but he was still nervous. Ryan didn’t know whether he would be successful. He didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of the entire class. Finally, Mr. Larson said the words Ryan had been dreading: “Okay, Ryan, let’s listen to what you have to say. Come up and give us your presentation.” Ryan gulped a few times. He couldn’t help still feeling somewhat anxious. Then, he gathered his notes, straightened up, and walked slowly to the front of the room. Mr. Larson sat down in one of the front-row seats and gave Ryan an encouraging smile as he nodded for him to begin. Ryan cleared his throat, glanced at his notes, and plunged into his presentation. For a moment or two, Ryan still felt very nervous. But as he went through his speech, he felt less and less like running away. He had practiced often enough so that nothing in his speech was new to him anymore. It wasn’t long before he relaxed a little and was able to almost enjoy what he was doing. By the time Ryan finished his presentation, he felt almost comfortable. When Ryan stopped speaking, everyone in the class applauded. Mr. Larson said, “That was a very well-prepared presentation, Ryan. You did an excellent job.” Ryan thought about how much he had practiced to get ready for his speech, and he felt proud. He still didn’t like making speeches, but now he knew he could do it. 1. What made Ryan feel relaxed while he was giving his speech? 2. What lesson did Ryan learn? 3. What would Ryan likely say about making a speech? 4. What was the purpose for reading this text?
