When I first came to my school, my first impression was one of amazement, because it was a big and brilliant place. It had so many new and interesting things for me to discover. Now, I have studied there for about half a year. I think this has become a new life for me, because being at this school has changed my study habits and my daily schedule. Here, I get up at 6:20 a.m., and I go to bed at 10:40 p.m. At first, I wasn’t quite used to it, but now I can manage it very well. The school is always strict with us, but the teachers and students are all very friendly. It makes me feel like I’m staying at a home away from home. Discipline is considered to be very important at school, so our discipline teacher is very strict with us. Even though he is strict, he likes telling jokes to keep us awake in his class! His method of teaching is nothing like that of my previous teachers in junior high. We all respect him and appreciate him very much. He is a good teacher, and we all like him. Everyone in my class is very hard-working, cooperates well and has good team spirit. We are highly disciplined in our dorms. Sometimes we are penalized for not cleaning well if some work wasn’t done properly. It helps make cleanliness into a habit. The dormitory supervisor usually gives us instructions when we clean the dorm. I get along well with my roommates, too. We often play tricks on each other, so the corridor is often full of laughter. The cafeterias are very crowded and bustling. We always run to the cafeteria after our last class every morning, but we still remember to be disciplined: We don’t jump the queue. I think the food is very delicious and cheap, too. The after-school activities are really interesting and there are a lot of clubs. Everyone has their own clubs they take part in to have fun. I joined the ultimate frisbee club because I think that playing frisbee is a lot of fun. In short, our school is very good and I like it a lot. I’m very pleased with my new school. |
