7. It was the first day of your new school. Make a diary entry describing your first-day experience in your
new school.
Thursday
3rd June 2023
8:30 pm
Today was my first day of school. I was very excited, but at the same time, a bit nervous to go to school.
The school was very big and my classroom was very spacious. Since it was the first day of my school, I
wanted to create a good impression on teachers. So, I sat on the first bench. I was asked to give a self-
introduction to my classmates in the classroom. I was embarrassed, but somehow gave a short
introduction about myself. Then one girl named Tina approached me, and asked me a few things like
where I stayed, and from which place I was. The conversation with Tina seemed to be interrogative but
comfortable. Tina gave me a tour of the school and I enjoyed it. For now, I consider Tina as my best friend
in school.
Overall, the first-day experience in my new school was interesting.
Anyway, a new day tomorrow. Wishing myself good luck!
Good Night my dear diary.
