What a day！ I started school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before， but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease （自在）. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years！

At 7：00 am， I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. Mom said if they didn’t love me， she would have a good talk with them. I couldn’t stop laughing.

My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde （金發(fā)的） girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class and we even made our way home together！ The day went so quickly. Our teacher told us that the next day we would really start learning and developing new skills.

I cannot wait until tomorrow and I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I hope that my new friends feel the same way too.

It may be difficult to start high school. 1 But never fear！ Here are some suggestions for you to adapt to the changes.

Do some research on the school through the school’s website. Check out the school’s grading policies， activities， and deadlines for programs， curricula （課程）， etc. before you move. If you’ve got that covered， you may choose to begin looking at school scholarships （獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金） or competitions. 2

Do visit the school before your first day of school. Most schools offer some kind of open house for newcomers to learn about the school’s academic （學(xué)術(shù)的） and curricular offerings. 3 Attending it can also help you find out a lot about the school’s academic atmosphere and environment.

Do start looking into clubs and after-class activities right away. 4 Once you’ve gone through the school’s clubs and found a few that interest you， attend all the clubs you found yourself drawn to. The purpose of attending these first club meetings is simply to gain a sense of the after-class environment at your school， and see what activities you may find yourself enjoying.

5 Many students make the mistake of setting out to achieve the highest grades at their new school. It is true that your grades are very important， but make sure that you spend a good deal of your time interacting with other students and ensuring that you’ll have some healthy relationships and networks with others. A social network will offer you the support and fun you need during high school.

A. Don’t forget to turn to teachers and other students.

B. Don’t build up your academics at the cost of your social life.

C. Many students are afraid of the changes that high school can bring.

D. Remember that you’re strengthening yourself for future life changes.

E. Find out a club list as early as possible to dig out the clubs that interest you.

F. This will make you prepared for applying to or signing up for those programs.

G. You can learn some basic information about the school through the open house.
