Going to a new school can feel like starting all over again.You may feel like sad or angry about leaving your old school or friends.You may feel excited about a new beginning or a “fresh start”.You may feel nervous about having to meet new people.All of these feelings are normal when you start at a new school.

Most kids worry about fitting in at their new school.It’s common for a new kid to feel like an outsider for the first few weeks.Although you can be lonely,you can help yourself fit in by being friendly.Even if you are nervous,try to smile,say hello and ask questions.

Here are two places where you might meet friends in a new school:

•The classroom:Look around you.Is there anyone who you can talk to?Do you take part in group activities in class?If so,try to join a new group every time.

•Playground:Most schools offer many team sports.Try to join these sports.

Some kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school.Even if the teachers are supportive,it can take some time to adjust(适应) to new rules or ways of teaching.Try talking to them about your problems.Besides,with a familiar face in the front of your classroom you may feel more comfortable during the first few weeks of school.

After entering high school,you must wonder how to study well.Here are some good skills for you.

Gotoclass.

If you want to do well at school,going to class is the first step in studying well.If you miss classes,you will miss what the teacher thinks is important; as a result,you’ll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test.　1　

Takegoodnotes.

Try not to write down everything.　2　 Write down unfamiliar terms.After class,review your notes as soon as possible.You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh in your mind.

If you are struggling in class,talk to your teacher.He or she may be able to give you more help or tutor you before or after class.Most teachers have little sympathy(同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.

Takepartinclassdiscussions.

In order to learn more in class,it is helpful to take part in class discussions.Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation(参与) and your focus during the class discussion.　4　 This helps you make your point clear in class.

Formstudygroups.

　5　 Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it.Be careful! Sometimes group sessions can become chatting sessions.
