Read the script. (P101)
I’m a new senior secondary school student. It is the start of a new chapter in my life. My new school life is very exciting. I feel excited because this school differs in many ways from my previous one. Previously, we had fixed classrooms where students all sat in rows. In my new school, we don’t have fixed classrooms. Students sit around in groups and we often have group discussions and share our ideas or check our work together. What is also very different is that students in the same class can have different class schedules. That means we go to different classrooms for different subjects of our own choices. In the next three years, I hope I will learn many new things. I also hope I will develop confidence in speaking English and develop competence in a variety of new skills. All in all, I hope to have a happier, more fruitful, and satisfying life in my new school.
