On the fist day, all the new students had a meeting. The head teacher told us about the school (60) (rule) . He also said that the (61)(good) way to get respect was to study and get good grades.
We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. There were also different students in different classes. So it was difficult for me(62) (remember) all the faces and names.
I found that the homework was not as heavy (63) what I used to get in my school
China. However, it was a bit challenging for me (64) first because all the homework was in English. We had many subjects, such as English, History, Science and Art, but we could stop (65) (study)some subjects if we had no interest in them. Then we could choose some other subjects.
I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. The British food is very different. British people like eating desserts(甜点) which(60) (usual)come after the main meal. I often played in the school playground or took(67) rest under a tree.
