My first day at senior high finally arrived after I     1     it over and over again in my mind. The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided     2    a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. When I turned around, I saw a white-haired man. I told him that I wondered what life would be like in this new school. He told me I would soon find out. In the English class, I was     3    to find that the white-haired man turned out to be my English teacher. We were asked to give a self-introduction but I didn’t know what to say to leave a good     4    . Maybe I would say I liked     5     insects. When it was my turn, I     6     and then introduced my name. But everyone started to laugh and I     7    . After that, Mr. Meng said a few words, which made me a lot more relaxed. He even told us challenges and     8     like this were quite common at senior high. But     9     and getting prepared could help us to make good use of the time here.

“Well begun, half done.” I think this was a good     10     to my new school life.
