Read and listen to the dialogue. Why does Mason change from feeling anxious to feeling terrified?
Ruby: So, this is your first school show, Mason. Are you excited about it?
Mason: Yes, I am. But I'm anxious too. There's going to be a big audience!
Ruby: Don't worry. They’re friendly!
Mason: I hope so. Where’s Alex? He isn't here yet.
Ruby: That's strange. He's usually very punctual.
Mason: Maybe he's too frightened to come.
Ruby: Alex? No, it can't be that. He's a really confident person.
Miss Hart: Hello, Mason. I had a message from Alex. He’s ill and can't perform tonight. He's very upset about it. Can you sing this song in the second half?
Mason: I know the song well, so maybe…
Miss Hart: Thanks, Mason. That's brave of you. Don't worry, you’ll be great.
Ruby: You've got your own song now. How exciting!
Mason: I know. But I'm terrified!

SPEAKING Work in pairs. Ask and answer the questions.
1. How do you think performers in the school show usually feel before and after a performance?
2. Do you mind speaking in public? Why? / Why not?
Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiA: How do you think performers in the school show usually feel before and after a performance?
B: In my opinion, performers in the school show usually feel nervous and anxious before standing in a big audience. However, when they are performing, I guess they feel excited. And I think after a performance, some will feel satisfied, and others may feel relieved because they completed their roles.
A: Do you mind speaking in public?
B: Yes, definitely!
A: Why?
B: I think I am an introverted person, so I don't like talking in front of a lot of people. If I have to make a presentation in my class, I always practice overnight to make it smooth. Speaking in public brings me the feeling of anxiety and unconfidence. I'm always scared and my hands usually shake when I do that.
Tạm dịch:
A: Bạn nghĩ những người biểu diễn trong buổi biểu diễn của trường thường cảm thấy thế nào trước và sau khi biểu diễn?
B: Theo tôi, những người biểu diễn trong buổi biểu diễn của trường thường cảm thấy hồi hộp và lo lắng trước khi đứng trước một lượng lớn khán giả. Tuy nhiên, khi họ biểu diễn, tôi đoán họ cảm thấy phấn khích. Và tôi nghĩ sau khi diễn xong, có người sẽ cảm thấy hài lòng, có người lại thấy nhẹ lòng vì đã hoàn thành vai diễn của mình.
A: Bạn có phiền khi nói trước công chúng không?
B: Vâng, chắc chắn rồi!
A: Tại sao?
B: Tôi nghĩ tôi là một người hướng nội nên tôi không thích nói chuyện trước nhiều người. Nếu tôi phải thuyết trình trong lớp, tôi luôn luyện tập qua đêm để làm cho nó trôi chảy. Nói trước đám đông mang lại cho tôi cảm giác lo lắng và không tự tin. Tôi luôn sợ hãi và tay tôi thường run khi làm điều đó.
