First impressions
Hearing that I am admitted to Huamei Experimental School, I am excited and anxious.It is my dream school with well-equipped teaching facilities and highly-educated teachers. But will all teachers be strict or can I adapt to the new environment
What attracts me most is English class because our English teacher is knowledgeable and experienced.She can make every complex point easier for us to understand.
Maths teacher is so humorous that everyone is interested in maths. However,it is difficult and challenging to me.
With new term beginning,we are faced with a lot of opportunities and challenges. We are older than before,so we can be braver to complete heavier and more difficult learning tasks.
Thank you
