“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first...”

“What !” I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else What could I say to make a good first impression Something about my insect collection, perhaps." I was organising my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It’s your turn!”

With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply “Hi, I'm Meng Hao.“ Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic. “Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed!

When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr. Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high.
