Homework
Write a diary about your first day in senior high.
Possible version1.
Monday 1 September
My first day at senior high was impressive. Before going to school, I woke up so early to get everything ready and was in my great eagerness to embrace my new life at senior high. When arriving at school, there were so many students who took pictures happily with their parents. After the registration, I was guided to the classroom, where I met my form teacher. He welcomed us with a big smile and told us that you might meet with different challenges later, but just keep calm and be prepared to defeat them. Also, he generously said we could feel free to ask him for help when necessary. Hearing this, I felt inspired and confident about my new school life at senior high.

My first memory of school was the smell of paint! They painted the walls at the start of the year. The smell disappeared quite quickly, but I still remember it. My first best friend was a girl called Molly and we were friends for about 3 years. But then she moved to California. I still write to her. My favorite activity on my first day was drawing pictures. My first English teacher called Miss Lu. And she had the biggest smile in the world.
