Gaining Courage Rick Halston In my last semester in college, I received an award for my final research presentation. I wasn’t always good at speaking in front of people; in fact, one of my biggest fears was of making speeches. Since my primary school days, my shy personality had never been ideal for public speaking. From my first day of college, I especially feared giving the monthly class presentations. I would practise for hours on end. That helped somewhat, but I still sounded nervous or confused. A significant change came before my most important presentation when I watched a music video from my favourite singer’s newly released album. I noticed it sounded completely different from her previous work. She had switched from soft-rock to classical jazz, and her style of clothes had also changed. I thought she was taking a huge professional risk, but she displayed such confidence with her new style that I was inspired. I would change my sound and my look, too. I worked tirelessly to make my voice both bolder and calmer. I wore a suit jacket over my shirt, and with each practice, I felt my confidence grow. When I started my final presentation, naturally, I was nervous, but gradually a sense of calm flowed through me. I was able to speak with clarity and answer the follow-up questions without tripping over my words. At that moment, I actually felt confident. Right then, I understood that we can either allow anxiety to control us or find new ways to overcome it. There is no single clear way to become a confident presenter, but thanks to that singer I realised that we need to uncover and develop our own courage. 問1 Put the following events ({1}～{4}) into the order in which they happened.
