自從來到上海諾科學校，我一直在努力參加各種課外活動。通過這些經歷，我有機會去探索一系列的興趣，從而釋放我從未意識到的激情。

　　I have been trying to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities since I came to this school.Through these experiences, I got the opportunity to explore a range of interests and unlock passions I never knew I possessed.

　　似乎，我總是努力的想要跳出自己的舒適區。然而，直到去年我才參加了演講比賽。

　　Seemingly, I always make efforts to jump out of my comfort zone. However, I didn't take part in a speech contest until last year. Like thing was that I was not good at speaking fluently.

　　就像我不善言辭一樣。因為我害怕把自己的想法公之于眾，所以我一定會不斷地扭曲自己的舌頭。

　　It was precisely because I was fearful of presenting my idea in public and I would definitely twist my tongue unceasingly.

　　在我11年級的時候，發表公開演講的絕好機會落在了我身上。

　　The golden opportunity of delivering a public speech fell on me when I was in Grade 11.

　　我猶豫不決，不確定是否應該在學校演講比賽中第一次瞥見。

　　I was indecisive and uncertain about whether I should make a first glimpse in the school speech contest.

　　演講的主題與環境有關。由于我是一個對環境調查有著強烈熱情的人，所以這個話題適合我。

　　The topic of the speech was related to the environment.Since I was a person who had intense enthusiasm toward the investigation of the environment, this topic was absolutely a good fit for me.

　　較終，拋開所有的顧慮，我決定在演講比賽中開始我的初步嘗試。

　　Eventually, throwing out all of the considerations, I decided to give my initial attempt in the speech contest.

　　當我正構思我的演講時，我突然感到一種強烈的情感和表達的欲望。也許這就是演講的本質，這意味著每個人都堅定地表達了自己的想法。

　　While I was conceiving my speech, I suddenly felt a strong emotion and desire to convey. Maybe this was the essence of giving a speech, which meant everyone just delivered your idea with great determination.

　　我觀察到校園浪費水的問題已經持續了很長一段時間，所以演講比賽為我呼吁全校合理用水提供了一個平臺。

　　I had observed the problem of wasting water on campus for a long time so the speech contest served as a platform for me to appeal to the whole school for rational use of water.

　　在草案完成后，我經常和我的導師溝通并逐步完善它。就這樣，我開始發現自己已經沉迷于演講中了，因為它加強了我的信心，讓我提高了對環境科學的認知。較終，我獲得了第三名，并得到了朋友們的稱贊。

　　After completing the draft, I talked with my advisor frequently to perfect it.I found myself addicted to my speech because it boosted my confidence and allowed me to improve upon the knowledge of environmental science.Ultimately, I won the third place and received many compliments from my friends.

　　雖然獎品不大，但它帶給了我很多啟發。現在看來，公開演講也沒有以前認為的那么可怕了。

　　Although the prize was not big, it inspired me so much. Giving a speech in public was no longer as terrifying as before.

　　相反，它變得愉快而有意義。后來，我還獲得了全國演講和辯論協會舉辦的演講比賽的半決賽的。

　　On the contrary, it became pleasant and meaningful. Later, I also got a certificate of Semi-Finalist in the speech contest organized by the National Speech and Debate As sociation.

　　將來，我會繼續探索一些未知的領域，以持續激發我的潛能。鑒于這段難忘的經歷，我堅信我比我相信的更勇敢，比我看起來的更聰明，比我想象的更堅強。

　　In the future, I will continue to explore some other unknown areas and proceed to stimulate my potential. In light of this memorable experience, I'm firmly convinced that I am braver than I believe, smarter than I seem, and stronger than I think.
