Mia's First Talk

Mia is twelve years old, and she loves science.

Last week, her teacher asked her to talk about the moon in class.

Mia felt nervous because she did not like speaking in front of people.

On Monday, she wrote five small cards with facts about the moon.

She read them aloud in her room every evening.

Her little brother listened and clapped his hands.

On Friday morning, Mia stood in front of the class.

Her hands were cold, but she took a deep breath.

She looked at her cards and spoke slowly.

She told the class that the moon has no light of its own.

The other students were quiet and listened carefully.

When she finished, everyone clapped.

Mia smiled and felt proud of herself.
