Step into a New Campus

In the early morning, the sun had just risen and the birds were still perched on the trees, and I was already on my way to my new school.

When I stepped into the gate of my new school for the first time, I felt extremely nervous, afraid that any action would annoy people.

However, in fact, I was still a little excited. After all, I entered the campus again after a few minutes, so I felt much more at ease when I thought about it. Besides, I also want to see what the New Zealand classmates look like or how they feel, and whether they welcome me as a new classmate.

When I entered the classroom, I realised that these thoughts were superfluous. My classmates and teachers cared about me and were very enthusiastic about me. I also made many new friends in the school. I like it very much and I am very glad that I can come here. Here, I met enthusiastic teachers, friendly classmates and funny new friends.

Time goes by, the sun rises and sets in the west, this day is coming to an end, I feel that I will soon be able to adapt to the environment of the new school. I hope I can stay there forever, at the moment I really want to take a photo with a camera so that maybe I never grow up, but people will eventually grow old and never return to their youth, childhood that cannot go back. I hope everyone can have a memorable youth and live up to their years.
