1．You may not know a lot of people when you start high school．Even if you know some freshmen（新生），you still feel nervous that you don't know any upper-classmen and teachers．How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces？
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts，which is helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers，but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen．That way，when you show up on your first day of school，you may already recognize a few familiar faces．
When you talk to your new classmates，you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are．They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect．Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships．
The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about．The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school，giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects．So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging．If you ever find your work too difficult，teachers can give you extra help．
High school also has more extracurricular activities（課外活動） than middle school did such as clubs，music and theater groups and sports teams．This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things．
High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time，to develop your social skills and interests，and more importantly to be more independent and responsible．
