Step 1 Lead–in
So this is it—senior high school at
last! I’m not outgoing so I’m a little
anxious right now. I want to make a
good first impression. Will I make any
friends? What if no one talks to me?

I just had my first maths class
at senior high school! The
class was difficult, but the
teacher was kind and friendly. He even told
us a funny story, and everyone laughed so
much! I found most of my classmates and
teachers friendly and helpful.

Step 2 Pre-reading
This afternoon, we had our chemistry
class in the science lab. The lab is
new and the lesson was great, but the
guy next to me tried to talk to me the
whole time. I couldn’t concentrate on the
experiment. I really wanted to tell him to please
be quiet and leave me alone!

What a day! This morning, I was worried that
no on would talk to me. But I was wrong.
I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all. I
miss my friends from junior high school, but
I believe I will make new friends here, and
there’s a lot to explore at senior high. I feel
much more confident than I felt this morning.
I think that tomorrow will be a great day!
