You may worry about all these things: what classes to take, what to wear on the first day of school and what will everyone think of you? But so far high school has been the best experience for me ever. On my first day of high school, I asked a senior where my class was, and he told me it was "on the fourth floor, next to the pool". I found out five minutes later that we didn't even have a fourth floor and had no pool either! Besides that event, I didn't have any trouble with the older kids. I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load and the size of the school. I went from fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours so I had to learn time management pretty quickly! Our class size was around 550, so being exposed to so many new people was a big change. Getting involved in clubs, sports, music and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade. It’s always useful to have an upperclassman friend! The best suggestion I can give about the four years you spend in high school is to learn things for the sake of learning, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I’ve crammed（突击式学习） on the night before and got an A, but now I don't remember anything. I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Relating to academics, don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between "AP Chemistry” and “Racquet Sport”, the first will prove to be more useful! 1.

A. tell others his first-day experience at high school C describe what can be learnt at high school B. express his opinions on high school education D. share his life and thoughts at high school B Ruffles（褶边）add a feminine touch to an outfit.
