This passage describes Meng Hao’s experiences and feelings on the first day at senior high from four stages. Before going to school, he was in his eagerness to get to know his school, so he got up early and rushed out of the door. After arriving at school, he curiously explored the campus. Turning around, he saw a white-haired man, who actually was his English teacher during the English class. When introducing himself, he was so nervous and embarrassed because Meng Hao shared the same name with his English teacher, which made his classmates laugh. The old man educated them that challenges at senior high would put them under pressure so they should learn to keep calm and be prepared. After the class, Meng Hao felt confident about his new start at senior high because he believed “Well begun is half done”.
