The big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! The campus was still quiet when I arrived early, so I decided to1 a bit.
"2 here?" Turning around, I saw a man in his forties. "Yes," I replied. "I was wondering what life is going to be like here." "Don't worry," he gave me a smile. "You'll soon 3 ."
The first class was English. Amazingly, the4 man stepped into the classroom and said,"Good morning, everyone. Before we start, time for self-introduction. I'll go first…"
"What?!" I tried to5 my brain but the engine just wouldn't start. "I should say my name, of course. But what else?6 about my stamp collection, perhaps. " I was7 my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a push. "It's your turn!"
With my heart beating8 I breathed deeply. "Hi, I'm Meng Hao." Everyone started9 I looked at them in panic. "Nice to know we10 the same name," said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself. Although I was embarrassed, his11 made me a lot more relaxed!
When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, "Well done, everyone! I know this isn't easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high.12 like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all13 what you do. Keep14 and be prepared. That way, you'll make the best of your time at senior high."
People say, "Well begun, half done." I guess this was a good15 to my new school life.
