Name: Ricky Cheung

Age: 16

Top tunes: Glay's music

Sometimes, I have to speak in front of my classmates.  I think the more experience you have in giving speeches, the better you will get.  My teacher encourages us to  speak in front of others. But I'm scared when I'm speaking in public. I just speak loudly and  try to look confident.

Name: Anson Chan

Age: 16

Top tunes: pop music

I'm a shy person, and sometimes I get nervous in certain  situations, but I  like making speeches.   I  won the 57th Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival. I practise a lot before I give a speech.

Name: So Hok-ken

Age: 17

Top tunes: R&B

I don't like making speeches  in public, because I'm shy. I'm a member of a Hong Kong rugby  club, that's where I meet with my western friends. I can chat with them freely and happily. But it's totally different from speaking in front of a large crowd.

Name: Carol Liu

Age: 17

Top tunes: Justin

I don't like giving speeches but sometimes I have to do it in class. We often have to give a one-minute presentation in our English class. I always feel  nervous in front of so many people and when my teacher asks me  questions, I don't know how to answer her.

Name: Cathy Wong

Age: 14

Top tunes: Endy Chow's songs

I enjoy speaking in public. I'm studying in Australia now and my teachers always encourage us to practise making speeches. I think it's important for a student to learn to speak in front of others. Although I sometimes get nervous, I tell myself to relax and try to look natural.
