One day one Englishtown's practice

一

I get nervous sometimes when I have to make a presentation.

I guess it's just getting up in front of a bunch of people does that to me. It's a confidence thing more than anything else.

You know they say failure to prepare is preparing to fail. Know your material, which I did. 

I had all the facts I wanted to communicate, were right there. I felt that I articulated them well.

My problem was the audience. My audience wanted me to fail.

I must have lost them probably about half way through, Elizabeth and her Muppet.

I tried to make them comfortable, but to no avail. There you go. 

articulate:发音。

to no avail:徒劳无功。

three you go:就这样吧。

fall out 吵架

over my head 搞不定

overwhelmed 不知所措

mess up  搞乱
