Background Information
The British education system
There are five stages of education in the UK：namely early years, primary, secondary, further education and higher education. For all students between the ages of five (four in Northern Ireland) and sixteen in the UK, primary and secondary education is compulsory. When a student finishes secondary education, they have the option of doing further education and gaining additional academic or vocational qualifications. If a student plans to do higher education, usually consisting of university, they must complete further education.
If you’d like to find out more about the British education system, you can read reference books or search a library or online using these key words：

2. Read the passage and find out what the author wrote in his diary about his first day at senior high.
1. After I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school.
2. The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here ” Turning around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,” I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.”
3. How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier.
4. “Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first…”

5. “What !” I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else What could I say to make a good first impression Something about my insect collection, perhaps.” I was organising my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It’s your turn!”
6. With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic. “Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed!
7. When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepared. That way, you’ll make the most of your time at senior high.”
8. People say, “Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.
