8、ally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school. The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “N
9、ew here?” Turning around, I saw an older man. "Yes," I replied. “Im wondering what life is going to be like here. " "Don't worry,” he gave me a smile. "You'll soon find out.” How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into th
10、e classroom, I was surprised to see the same older man I had met earlier. “Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I'll go first” “What?!" I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn'
11、;t 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 organising my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It' s your turn!” With butterflies in my stoma
12、ch, 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 been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed! When we had
13、 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. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepar
14、ed. That way, you'll make the most of your time at senior high.”People say, "Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.Passage 2High school hintsInterviewer: Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today I'm joined by Lisa Osborne. Lisa graduated from our
15、 school last June and is about to go to college. Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high school with us.Lisa: Hi, everybody. I'm very glad to be back. I feel as if high school was only yesterday.Interviewer: So what helped when you first started high school?Lisa: Orientatio
16、n Day was really helpful. It's a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.Interviewer: That's sound advice for sure. But how did you deal with new challen
17、ges, like starting a new course?Lisa: I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was frightened at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured I'd better just go all out and see what happens. If you fail, no problem -next time you can fail better!Interviewer: So, hold your
18、head up, then. But life is not always easy. You must have had some moments when you were disappointed. If so, how did you deal with them? Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasnt selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but later I realised that I joined t
19、he team for the love of the sport. It wasn't just about winning. So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training. There's always a way to be part of something you love, isn't there?Interviewer: Yes, I totally agree. Is there anything else in particular that you'd l
20、ike to share with us?Lisa: Looking back at my high school life, the most important advice I'd give are these wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou. She said, “Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.” So, give your friends a hand when they need it. And this will make you feel good, too.Interviewer: Awesome! Well, thanks again for coming to speak to us, Lisa. And good luck with college. Lisa: Thank you.
