What were the students going to do?

When I entered the classroom at 2: 00 in the afternoon, I was surprised to see a video camera. Our teacher was operating the camera in class, and my classmates were all exercising reading something to themselves slowly and carefully. Most of us had never been in front of a video camera before, so we were quite nervous. As for myself, I had once faced one at home, my uncle was shooting when we were celebrating my sister’ s birthday. But this was completely different. We had to talk about our articles as if we were reading news on TV. The funny thing was that every time I tried to face the camera and talk about my article, I forgot the article and couldn’ t resist looking down at it. The other classmates just shared the same feelings with me. After class, we have been discussed about it and we all agreed that this completely different experience is quite good for us, thanks to our class teacher.
