“A Beautiful Mess”
You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions,

B. Answer the following questions!

It can be hard when you feel as if you are lacking the common bravery that you see in the world around you. Like you're
stammering because of your shyness. But that doesn't mean that you ''don't'' have that courage in you!
If you are going to make a speech, or do something in front of someone (or many people), pray to have the courage to do
your speech and take one deep breath (as easy as it sounds). However, letting the oxygen into your system calms yourself
down temporarily, making it easier for you to take that first step. The first step is always going to be the hardest, but once you
get into doing what you are doing, everything runs better than expected.
Instead of think about what you are doing as something that you are being forced against your will to do. Why don’t think it
something you want to do, or as an opportunity of a lifetime. Think about the people that you are going to effect. Don’t
overwork yourself! It will be much easier if you walk out in front of the people with a carefree mind.
The important thing is smile (unless you are in a play, in that case, just be the character) When making a speech, standing
up with your head high, having good posture and a smile on your face makes the audience see you as a very confident
person (regardless if you feel that way or not) because it is almost impossible to think negative thoughts with a smile on your
face. The last, think also you can do it well and always be positive and believe always in you because it's also a way to gain
confidence in yourself.

51. What should we do to relax yourself in making speech?

52. To be brave deliver speech in front of public, you
53. What is the most important thing in making speech and why?

54. Write lyrics of the song you like and describe the grammatical that used in general!
