Question

Is it good to be in the middle? Sometimes, no, like when you’re in the middle seat on a long car ride. But sometimes, yes, like when you’re in the middle of a great movie. What will happen next? Middle school is a little bit like that.

For a kid, going to middle school is a big change: First, it often means moving to a new building. You have to take some time to adjust (適應(yīng)). Second, it may mean taking a different bus, with different students. Third, the friends you made in primary school may end up going to different middle schools.

All that can make you feel a bit scared on the first day of school. Here is some advice to help you on your first day.

Get to bed on time the night before. Before bed, put all your things into your schoolbag so you don’t forget anything.

On the big day, eat breakfast and be brave (勇敢的). On your way out the door, take everything you need and try to say “hi” to everyone you meet.

In class, listen to the teachers carefully and take notes. Try to write down the important things, and then you can look it over when you get home and be prepared (準備) for the next day.
