How to Adjust (适应) to a New School
School is a place where a child learns to succeed. When you go to a new school, you might worry that you don't know anyone. You worry that you might get lost, or the teachers are strict. Here are some ways to help you adjust to a new school.
Getting to Know the School
Before you start the school, go with your parents to visit the school.
Preparing for the First Day
Being well rested will help remove (去除) any nervousness you may feel. Try to get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep if you're between 7 and 11 years old.
Leave early for school. Make sure you set aside enough time in the morning to get to school. Arriving early may also give you a chance to chat with a few other students and hopefully make a few new friends.
Making Friends
Take part in activities. Sign up for (报名参加) activities like sports or chess. This will get you into small groups with people who have the same interests as yours. You might even be able to teach some other kids about how to do something.
A．Find out where your classroom is, as well as other important places.
B．Start your first day of school with a good night's sleep.
C．Learning the rules of the school will help you adjust to it and will keep you out of trouble.
D．But adjusting to a new school can be difficult.
E．You don't want to rush into your classroom after the bell rings.
F．This will also give you a chance to show your skills at a sport or other activities.
G．Go shopping for your supplies (日用品) and make sure you have them all ready to take to school.

One night Gottlieb saw his mother was more than usually 7. She kept sighing (叹息), with tears falling down. The boy had been old enough to read the 8. He thought, “Christmas will be here soon. Mum is thinking of what a sad time it will be.”
What could Gottlieb give to9 his mother? He could only 10 and dream. However, as Gottlieb sat dreaming, a happy 11 came to him. Walking out of the 12 he took paper and a pen. He wrote a 13.
Soon Christmas came, and Gottlieb 14 very early. But others were up before him, for, to his surprise, he saw a 15. His mother looked surprised too. His 16 eyes soon saw other unusual objects, wood, food and beautiful clothes he had never even 17.
Then the stranger turned to Gottlieb with a smile, “The postman sent your letter to Father Christmas wrongly to me and I 18 to read it. The gifts you asked for are here, but they come from my hand.” 19, Gottlieb answered, “Thank you, sir. You're the 20 Father Christmas, for he put the thought into your heart.”
