Xiaoming participated in an oratory contest. He carefully prepared his speech, but due to nervousness, he spoke too fast and unclearly during the speech, resulting in his words not conveying his meaning well. He ultimately failed to achieve a good result. The judges pointed out that his ideas were good, but his expression needed improvement. He needed more practice to express his thoughts accurately and clearly. Xiaoming was very frustrated, but he didn't give up. He began to seriously reflect on his shortcomings and actively sought ways to improve. He practiced his speeches repeatedly and sought advice from teachers and classmates, constantly improving his way of expressing himself.
