I'm a new senior secondary school student. It is the start of a new chapter in my life.My new school life is very exciting. I feel excited because this school differs in many ways from my previous one.
Previously, we had fixed classrooms where students all sat in rows. In my new school, we often have group discussions and share our ideas or check our work together. What is also very different is that the school is much bigger and more dynamic than I expected. It has a big playground and a big library. We also have a friendly head teacher and an excellent student centre.
In the next three years, I hope I will learn many new things. I also hope I will develop confidence in speaking English and develop competence in a variety of new skills. All in all, I hope to have a happier, more fruitful and satisfying life in my new school
