Imagine we are all potatoes if it helps. ”The teacher’s words made me relaxed a lot, and I finally began to say something. It was hard, but it didn’t feel bad.

Sample
The first week of senior high has been quite exciting, and I am looking forward to making the most of senior high!
Friday, 8 september
Now I become a new student of Senior High. Our school life is very interesting. Let me tell you something about it.
Every morning I go to school at 7:30. classes begin at 8 o’clock. We now have more subjects than at junior high school, but we are not bored. That’s because we have so many good teachers now.
Our English teacher is always enthusiastic and so we are very excited to work with her. Sometimes, we have misunderstanding between us. For example, she once told us to guess the meaning of words, and we thought it not necessary to remember these words. But now we try to remember as many words as possible.
Our after-school activities are always exciting. We have sports every day. We have soccer, basketball, volleyball and swimming. I like basketball, because I like CBA. I don’t like to watch football matches because sometimes they are disappointing and not enjoyable.
