As you grow older you will be expected to give talks or give presentations to large groups of people. Many people are shy or become nervous in this situation. The more one practises speaking to a group, the easier it becomes. Preparation is also very important. The better you know what you want to say, the less nervous you have to be.
When people are interviewed on television or on the radio, they are given the questions before the time so that they can think about the answers before the interview.
At the start of your interview, make the person you are interviewing feel at home. Plan this beforehand.

Read the passage, twice (Not too fast)
I am a ten-year-old boy. My name is Mika. I have two big, blue eyes and short, brown hair. I have two sturdy legs and two, strong-arms which I use when I play rugby. When I smile you can see my lovely white teeth. My nose is pointy and I have two big ears with which I hear.
I am a happy child and I love going to school. Sometimes I also become angry or sad. I do not like myself very much when I am unhappy.
Sometimes I wish that I was as clever as my friend, Massing or as beautiful as Chula, but I know that I shall always just be me!
