1、My first day at senior high 我的高中第一天 Monday 4 September 9 月 4 日星期一 1. After I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high!

I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” Turing around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,” I replied. “Im wondering what life is going t

How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised t
4、o see the same man I had met earlier. 这话说得真是太对了！当我的英语老师走进教室时，我很惊讶地发现，他就是我之前遇到的 那位老人。 4. “Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. Ill go first” “大家早上好。开始上课前，请大家依次到前面来向全班介绍一下你自己。我先来” 5. “What?!” I tried to turn on my brain but t
5、he engine just wouldnt start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else? What could I say to make a good first impression? Something about my insect collection, perhaps.” I was organizing my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “Its your turn!” “什么？！”我试图让我的大脑运转起来，但引擎怎么就是无
6、法启动。“当然，我得先介绍我 的名字。 还有呢？我该说些什么才能给别人留下一个不错的第一印象呢？也许应该说说我收 藏昆虫标本的事。”我正忙着在脑海中组织语言，坐在我旁边的女孩轻轻推了我一下：“轮到 你了！” 6. With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, Im Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic. “Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had bee
7、n too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed! 我心里七上八下、紧张万分。我深呼一口气说：“大家好，我叫孟浩。”大家开始大笑起来。 我惊慌失措地看着他们。“很高兴我们同名啊。”我的新老师说。我刚才太紧张了，竟然没有 仔细听老师的自我介绍！尽管有些尴尬，但他的话还是让我放松了很多！ 我们都介绍完后，孟老师说：“大家都做得很好！我知道这对你们很多人来说并不容易，但 这正是你们在高中阶段将会面对的。
