Моя первая неделя в новой школе

Начало учёбы в новой школе всегда волнительно. Мой первый день был в прошлый понедельник. Я очень нервничал, когда вошёл в класс. Однако моя учительница, миссис Браун, была очень доброй и представила меня классу. Ученики показались дружелюбными. Во время перемены девочка по имени Сара спросила меня о моих увлечениях. Мы оба любим компьютерные игры и смотрим одни и те же каналы! К концу недели я завёл несколько новых друзей. Иногда я всё ещё скучаю по старой школе, но думаю, что буду здесь счастлив.
