Watching myself on the recording afterward was even more uncomfortable than facing the camera live. Last month, I attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. ( ① ) On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, where students practiced writing short news scripts and reading them in front of a camera. ( ② ) It was harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera recorded my every move felt strange at first. ( ③ ) By the second day, however, I began to enjoy the challenge, and my confidence grew with each attempt. ( ④ ) The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave detailed feedback rather than simple praise, which helped us improve quickly. ( ⑤ ) On the final day, each team presented a short news segment to the entire camp.
