Are you usually nervous on the first
day of school? Why?

Adam Fadlullah,

I first came to the school in year
2. I was most nervous about
making new friends. I was nervous that
I wouldn’t be able to fit in with everyone
else. I lived in a different country before
I came here, so I was a bit scared. Now
I’m much better. I have new friends and
I like my teachers.

I am really nervous the first day
because it’s really difficult to make
new friends. I get nervous about meeting
new teachers and I wonder how they will
teach me. I worry about meeting a new
teacher that I can’t understand because
I don’t speak English very well. I mainly
speak French and Arabic. I get really
nervous about that.

The first thing I get nervous about
on the first day of school is making
friends and meeting my teachers. I
wonder if my teachers will be nice or
not.

I am not nervous. I get to be in a
new class and I can make new
friends.

I am not nervous because it is a
nice school and the teachers are
great. I like my classmates.

I am happy the first day of school
because we get to go on trips to
the library and swimming. I get to make
new friends.

When I first started school, I was
nervous because it was a new
school to me and I came from a
different country. I have new friends
now and I like my teachers.
