When I sit at the anchor desk and speak, I feel truly amazing — that’s what it feels like to be an anchor!

There are also a few things I learned from the SCMP anchor programme, such as how to be confident and calm in front of the camera, the format for writing a survey report, and how an anchor works. And of course, I gained different perspectives, information, and understanding about the topic we discussed—transgenderism.

I think one of the most ineresting things we experienced was using the teleprompter and keeping up with the moving words!

I still remember that during the recording, I kept saying the same sentence incorrectly, which resulted in two retakes. I took a deep breath, said it again, and it was successful! Just pick yourself up from where you’ve fallen!

These are all new experiences, and I love it. I’m feeling more confident speaking English now!
