I knew that lots of people would watch the show and many famous pop stars would come too. We started working on the show two months ago. It was my job to introduce each star. I had many other duties too. It was hard work but I was happy. We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to look at the right camera at the right time. At
the beginning I thought it would be difficult. Slowly, everything became a little bit easier. The big day came very fast and suddenly it was the night before the big event. I couldn’t sleep all night because I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the show, the doors opened and many people came into the theatre. ―No time to be nervous any more. This is it.‖I told myself. A lot of people came to the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a lot of noise. I had to speak loudly because of the noise.
