Something new will come soon.

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
A sample
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 l finally began to say something. Despite my trembling voice, l 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, l 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 l am looking forward to making the most of senior high!
