Answer
A: You don't look very happy. Are you OK?
B: I have to give a presentation tomorrow and I'm terrified.
A: Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that. You must be really nervous. Why don't you imagine yourself giving a great speech? That might help to relax you.
B: I've tried that before. It didn't really help.
A: What about if you take deep breaths, don't worry about getting it perfect and just relax and be yourself?
B: That's not a bad idea.
A: I'm sure if you go over your noted then get an early night that will help, too.
B: Good idea! I'll give it a try.
