Question

You may not know a lot of people when you start senior school.Even if you know some freshmen（新生）,you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers.How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?

Most senior schools hold a freshman orientation（迎新会）before school actually starts.It is helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet fellow freshmen.That way,when you show up on your first day of school,you may already recognize a few familiar faces.

When you talk to people in t.he orientation,you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect.Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.

The work in senior school is something freshmen are probably worried about.The work in senior school builds on what you learned in junior school,giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects.So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging.If you ever find your work too difficult,teachers can give you extra help.

Senior school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school did such as clubs,music and theater groups and sports teams.This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.

Junior school taught you the basic of academics,time management,and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance.Senior school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.
