I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself.
All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.
I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton’s poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian’s slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance.
As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was anxious. My teammates felt panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team, they could not because there was no replacement good enough.
The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance. They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.

我开始对整个演讲的事宜自视甚高,并开始以这种方式对待我的队友。我会嘲笑伊顿糟糕的辩论风格。我会抱怨 薇薇安反应迟钝。我认为自己是天生的辩论者,会对他们的糟糕表现感到失望。
随着总决赛的临近,我对自己的团队越来越不满意。我开始错过练习。我的老师很着急。我的队友感到恐慌。但是,他们没有办法,只能依靠我赢得决赛。即使他们想将我从团队中移除,他们也
