The first time you give a speech is truly a special moment，a beginning of something special，and I will surely never forget the first time that I gave a speech.
As a kid，I was extremely shy and seldom said anything.When I was twelve and about to graduate from junior school，I remember that my teacher pulled me aside one day and told me to take part in an online speech.My first thought was that giving a speech didn't sound like much fun，but finally I agreed.
As the morning neared 9：30 a.m.，I sat in front of my laptop screen nervously.I clicked the link to join "Round One"，put my nerves aside，and smiled at the other faces on the screen as my name was called to perform.Slowly，I stood and began speaking.I could only think that the other participants felt as anxious as I did.
The Novice（新手）Speech Tournament is the first Speech and Debate competition of the year specifically for first-time competitors，and this year's event took place on October 24.Speech Team Co- Captain Anna Sheehan，a seasoned speech leader，reported her Novice experience，"I remember leaving the competition even more excited to do speech because I had seen some great pieces and was eager to improve." After experiencing Novice myself，I completely agreed!
Two Montrosians-Josie Marcucci and I-competed while Anna Sheehan and Lucy Stefani took part as judges.Although it took place online，the Montrose Speech Team did its best to follow the normal arrangement：At 8 a.m.，we met in our virtual（虛擬的）team room for warmups to help cheer ourselves up before the big day.Next，we attended a meeting for some announcements（通告）.Then，we were off to compete.In each of the three rounds，competitors had a chance to perform.In between rounds，we met as a team in our "room".Before I took part，I went to my teacher for some practical help.And my teacher patted me on the back，smiling， "Calm down，and you will make it."

Little Ellen laid her head against her father's breast.To her it was a Happy New Year's morning，but it was not so with Mr.Edgar，a successful businessman.He was tired of the plot in the business world.He was not happy at all! "For years，"he said to himself，"I have been pursuing the means of happiness，yet happiness itself seems to be still farther in the distance.""Why am I not happy？"But the answer was not given.
After breakfast，Mr.Edgar left home and went to his company.On his way，he noticed a lovely child around the same age as his daughter playing in the yard.Her beauty，which had in it something of innocence （天真），impressed him so deeply that he turned to gain a second look.With the girl was a father and he happened to be Abraham James，who owed（欠） money to Mr.Edgar from their business dealings.Abraham couldn't meet his responsibilities to Mr.Edgar，and as a result，Mr.Edgar said some unkind words.Mr.Edgar had an appointment with a lawyer（律師） today，preparing to charge him and ask for money he was owed.While the money wasn't a significant amount for Mr.Edgar，it meant a lot to Abraham James，who planned to sell his house to come up with the money.
As Mr.Edgar continued on his way，he couldn't forget the cheerful face of the child.Suddenly，he remembered his own daughter's smiling face and sweet morning greeting.He thought，"She must also wish her Daddy a happy New Year.If her Dad isn't happy，will she still wear that innocent smile on her face？"He seemed to have found the way to be happy.
