In this meeting, my lecturer usually asked all students to speak anything in English. And also, my lecturer asked what assignments liked and didn't like. Many people participated; it's just that when I was about to try to speak, I encountered obstacles. In the beginning, I was very nervous and embarrassed to speak, but when I was about to speak, the lights suddenly went out, and my network was gone.

And from this meeting, what I got was that when speaking, we also have to pay attention to pronunciation and grammar in speaking and what I got from my lecturer when we want to speak English fluently, "we have to practice it a lot" and "we have to be confident."
