My First Day at Senior High
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.
我在脑海中一遍又一遍地想象，大日子终于到来了：我在高中的第一天！我早早起床，急切地想了解我的新学校，冲出门外。
My First Day at Senior High
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.”
当我到达时，校园里还很安静，所以我决定探索一下。我正在看布告栏上的照片，这时我听到身后有声音。“新来的？”转过身来，我看到一个白发男子。“是的，”我回答。“我想知道这里的生活会是什么样子。”“别担心，”他对我微微一笑。“你很快就会知道的。”
My First Day at Senior High
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.
这句话是多么真实啊！当我的英语老师走进教室时，我惊讶地看到我之前遇到的那个人。
My First Day at Senior High
“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first…”.
“大家早上好。在我们开始上课之前，请一一到前面来，向同学们介绍一下自己。我先来……”
My First Day at Senior High
“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!”
“什么？！”我试图打开我的大脑，但发动机就是无法启动。“当然，我得说我的名字。但还有什么呢？我能说什么才能给人留下良好的第一印象？也许能说说我的昆虫收藏”。我正在脑海中整理我的话，这时我旁边的女孩推了我一下。“轮到你了！”
My First Day 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.”
当我们都做完自我介绍后，孟老师说：“非常好！我知道这对你们中的许多人来说并不容易。但这正是你在高中将要面对的。像这样的挑战有时可能会给你带来压力。但这完全取决于你要做什么。保持冷静并做好准备。这样，你就能充分利用在高中的时间。
