Interviewer: So what helped when you first started high school
Lisa: Orientation Day was really helpful. It’s a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just keep
an open mind and take part in as much as possible.
Interviewer: That’s sound advice for sure. But how did you deal with new challenges, like starting a new course
Lisa: I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was frightened at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured I’d better just go all out and see what happens. If you fail, no problem – next time you can fail better!

Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasn’t selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but later I realized that I joined the team for the love of the sport. It wasn’t just about winning. So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training. There’s always a way to be part of something you love, isn’t there

Friday 8 September
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.
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. 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 didn’t feel bad.
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.
The first week of senior high has been quite exciting, and I am looking forward to making the most of senior high!
