My First Day at Senior High
Monday　4 September
1 After I had pictured① it over and over again② in my mind【1】，the big day finally arrived：my first day at senior high! I woke up③ early and rushed④ out of the door in my eagerness⑤ to get to know my new school【2】.
【1】连词After引导时间状语从句，从句的谓语had pictured是过去完成时，表示这个动作发生在主句谓语动词arrived所表示的动作之前，也就是“过去的过去”。
【2】画线部分是动词不定式作目的状语。
2 The campus was still quiet when I arrived，so I decided to⑥ explore⑦ a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard⑧ when I heard a voice behind me【3】.“New here？”Turning around⑨，I saw a white-haired⑩ man. “Yes，” I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here【4】.” “Don’t worry，” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out .”
【3】该句包含了“sb. be doing sth. when...”句型，意为“某人正在做某事，这时……”。when是并列连词，表示“这时/那时”。
【4】句中what引导的宾语从句作wondering的宾语。life是从句中的主语，what是连接代词，作介词like的宾语，构成了what sth. be like的固定搭配。
3 How true these words were【5】！When my English teacher stepped into the classroom，I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier【6】.
【5】该句是How引导的感叹句，同时How作状语修饰作表语的形容词true。
【6】句中的to see...earlier是动词不定式作原因状语，表示was surprised的原因。 “I had met earlier”是定语从句，修饰前面的先行词man，此处省略了关系代词(作宾语)that。
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【7】？Something about my insect collection ，perhaps.” I was organising○21 my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge○22.“It’s your turn○23！”
【7】此处为不定式短语作目的状语。
6 With butterflies in my stomach○24【8】，I breathed○25 deeply.“Hi，I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic○26.“Nice to know we share the same name，” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention○27 when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed，his words made me a lot more relaxed○28【9】！
【8】此为“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，在句中作原因状语。butterflies是宾语；介词短语in my stomach是宾补。
【9】句中Although引导让步状语从句。although是连词，意为“虽然”。主句使用了“make＋宾语＋宾补”结构，意为“使……”，其中，me是宾语，形容词relaxed作宾补，表示宾语me的状态。a lot修饰比较级more relaxed。
7 When we had all introduced ourselves，Mr Meng said，“Well done○29，everyone！I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face【10】 at senior high. Challenges○30 like this might sometimes put you under pressure○31.But it all depends○32 on what you do【11】.Keep calm○33 and be prepared○34. That way【12】，you’ll make the most of○35 your time at senior high.”
【10】画线部分是省略了关系代词that的定语从句。
【11】what you do是what引导的宾语从句，作depends on 的宾语。连接代词what在宾语从句中作do的宾语，意为“……的事情”。
【12】That way是方式状语，意为“那样”。
8 People say，“Well begun，half done○36.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.

My First Day at Senior High
Monday　4 September
1 After I had pictured① it over and over again② in my mind【1】，the big day finally arrived：my first day at senior high! I woke up③ early and rushed④ out of the door in my eagerness⑤ to get to know my new school【2】.
【1】连词After引导时间状语从句，从句的谓语had pictured是过去完成时，表示这个动作发生在主句谓语动词arrived所表示的动作之前，也就是“过去的过去”。
【2】画线部分是动词不定式作目的状语。
2 The campus was still quiet when I arrived，so I decided to⑥ explore⑦ a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard⑧ when I heard a voice behind me【3】.“New here？”Turning around⑨，I saw a white-haired⑩ man. “Yes，” I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here【4】.” “Don’t worry，” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out .”
【3】该句包含了“sb. be doing sth. when...”句型，意为“某人正在做某事，这时……”。when是并列连词，表示“这时/那时”。
【4】句中what引导的宾语从句作wondering的宾语。life是从句中的主语，what是连接代词，作介词like的宾语，构成了what sth. be like的固定搭配。
3 How true these words were【5】！When my English teacher stepped into the classroom，I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier【6】.
【5】该句是How引导的感叹句，同时How作状语修饰作表语的形容词true。
【6】句中的to see...earlier是动词不定式作原因状语，表示was surprised的原因。 “I had met earlier”是定语从句，修饰前面的先行词man，此处省略了关系代词(作宾语)that。
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【7】？Something about my insect collection ，perhaps.” I was organising○21 my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge○22.“It’s your turn○23！”
【7】此处为不定式短语作目的状语。
6 With butterflies in my stomach○24【8】，I breathed○25 deeply.“Hi，I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic○26.“Nice to know we share the same name，” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention○27 when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed，his words made me a lot more relaxed○28【9】！
【8】此为“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，在句中作原因状语。butterflies是宾语；介词短语in my stomach是宾补。
【9】句中Although引导让步状语从句。although是连词，意为“虽然”。主句使用了“make＋宾语＋宾补”结构，意为“使……”，其中，me是宾语，形容词relaxed作宾补，表示宾语me的状态。a lot修饰比较级more relaxed。
7 When we had all introduced ourselves，Mr Meng said，“Well done○29，everyone！I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face【10】 at senior high. Challenges○30 like this might sometimes put you under pressure○31.But it all depends○32 on what you do【11】.Keep calm○33 and be prepared○34. That way【12】，you’ll make the most of○35 your time at senior high.”
【10】画线部分是省略了关系代词that的定语从句。
【11】what you do是what引导的宾语从句，作depends on 的宾语。连接代词what在宾语从句中作do的宾语，意为“……的事情”。
【12】That way是方式状语，意为“那样”。
8 People say，“Well begun，half done○36.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.
