MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
My first day of school
was exciting. In my
country, I went to school
for several years but
I never had school in
another country. I was
very excited to discover
American schools. I was
sure that it would be
better than my country’s
school. First, the big
building and different
classrooms surprised
me. The building
looked like a big hotel
and the classrooms
were more beautiful
than in my country. I
saw the big screen on
the wall, the decora-
tions, and the tables
and chairs ready to use.
I was also surprised to
see computers and a
printer inside the class-
room. Second, the
teacher was very atten-
tive and he was speak-
ing to us on a familiar
level of English. The big
surprise was my class-
mates. We were from
different countries of the
world and we were very
happy to be together
and learn English. I had
a wonderful class that
first day that I will never
forget.
