Activity 3 Possible answer
My first day of school
On my first day of senior high school, I wasn’t that anxious because nearly all of my old classmates were there, too. However, I was a little stressed because the lessons were more difficult than before and I had to try my best to keep up with the other students. My favourite class was chemistry, because the teacher made it really interesting and we did many experiments. I was happy because our teachers treated us like adults and all the classes, though more difficult, were more interesting.
