Post-writing :
How time flies! I can’t believe the first week is coming to an end. Things are going quite well, and there are one or two things in particular that have left a deep impression on me.
Friday 8 September
Post-writing :
The English class on Thursday was unforgettable.
During the class, we were asked to give a short speech about the first day at senior high. All my classmates were excited but I buried my head in my book. I had never delivered a speech in English before, and worse still, I didn’t feel quite at ease speaking in public. I was secretly hoping that nobody would notice me, when suddenly I heard my name called.
Post-writing :
I stood up, blushing, with nothing coming out of my mouth. “Don’t be shy! Just think of your first day at senior high and say whatever comes to mind. Imagine we are all pumpkins if it helps.” The teacher’s words made me relax a bit, and I finally began to say something. Despite my trembling voice, I gave my first ever public speech in English. It was hard, but it felt good to be able to express myslef.
Post-writing :
After school that day, I decided to go to the English club to further practise my English. I believe that by practising more I can improve a lot. As the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” While I was trying to pick up the courage to talk to someone, I heard a kind voice behind me. “Hello, I’m Tom, Nice to meet you.” Sitting side-by-side, he shared with me some tips on how to improve my English. We had a lovely chat and soon became friends.

Dear head teacher,
I am Lee, a freshman at senior high. It is a great honour to have this opportunity to give my suggestions in order o improve our school.
The first thing I would suggest is lunch break, which should be extended. The reason is that students almost have no enough time to take a rest and we possibly feel dizzy in the afternoon, which does harm to learning efficiency and effectiveness. Also, I think it would be a good idea to strengthen our bodies by promoting sports activities since physical and mental health is the precondition of study.
Another thing I would suggest is the school uniform. There is no doubt that school uniform is necessary for equality. Yet it would be great for us to show our personalities just every Friday.
Thanks for your patience and attention. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Lee
Thank You !
