A

On my first day at secondary school I was very excited. My father walked to

the school with me – he was very proud of me. A teacher took me into the

hall with the other girls. She gave us some books and told us which rooms to

go to. She used our surnames and we felt very important. My first lesson was

in the science laboratory. Of course, very few schools had labs in those days.

I was nervous of doing something wrong, but I was very interested and I soon

stopped feeling worried. I became a scientist that day! I studied hard because

I wanted to go to university to do science. And I went when I was eighteen.

B

I remember my first day at secondary school very well. I was eleven years

old. When I arrived at the school, the playground was full of big boys, some

of them looked like men to me. I was frightened. I asked some boys where to

go, but no one helped me. When I found my classroom, the teacher was angry

because I was late. I was miserable. I wanted to go home. Of course, I soon

made friends and began to enjoy some of the lessons. But those first days

were terrible.

C

My first day at secondary school was fun! I was with my friends from

primary school, so I wasn't nervous. In the morning, some of the older

students took us on a tour of the school. They showed us the different

departments like the art rooms, the computer rooms and the sports ground. Then we met our teachers and they gave us our timetables. Everyone was

very friendly and we all felt quite happy. Of course, when we started lessons,

we realised that the work was difficult. I could understand the science, but I

couldn't understand the maths at all. At the end of the day I was very tired!

And we got lots of homework. I didn't feel so confident then.
