Starting high school can be difficult. Everyone is nervous and nobody knows where to go for classes. Thinking about making new friends might make you feel nervous, too. But don't worry, because you are not alone. You are going to school with a group of students of your age, and we have several suggestions for you to follow.
Forget your fear and just talk to some
Don't be afraid to get close to strangers. Introduce yourself and start a conversation about something you have in common. Sit in the middle of the classroom with many new friends around you as possible.
Join clubs
Take part in after-school activities that interest you. Try to make friends in clubs. If you join anything, you will be just going to classes and then going home. Being in a club makes you more social.

Lots of students are interested in wild animals such as elephants, tigers, snakes, zebras, giraffes and so on. Here's some information about zebras and giraffes.
Zebras live in some parts of Africa. They live in groups. That's why we often see zebras walking and running in groups. Zebras look a lot like horses. In fact, horses are their nearest relatives. Zebras are famous for their black and white stripes (条纹). Each zebra's pattern (图案) of stripes is different. The patterns look similar, but they are unique like humans' fingerprints (指纹). No two have the same pattern. How do zebras protect themselves from their enemies? They can stay alive because they run fast to avoid lions and other enemies.
Giraffes live in parts of Africa, too. They are brown and yellow. Their patterns are different. Giraffes are the tallest animals of all. They are one of the world's heaviest animals, and their hearts are the biggest of any animals. They have long legs and long necks. Their necks are long, so they can reach high into trees to cat the leaves, which give giraffes most of the water they need. Giraffe's long legs mean they take big steps when they walk or run. They can run very fast, so they can protect themselves from dangerous animals such as lions.
