At my old school in Toronto, I was on the football and volleyball teams, so I was very popular and had lots of friends. Everything changed when I was 16 years old because my parents made a (decide) to move to Florida. The (one) few days in my new school were very difficult. The class timetable was different, and the teachers were (strict) than in my old school. Each teacher gave us a lot of homework every night. As result, my free time became limited. My homework kept me busy that I could only watch TV on Saturday nights. All the students dressed in shorts and T-shirts instead of school uniforms. Some kids tried to be nice me, but I did not want to talk to (they). To me, they looked and acted funny! After a few weeks, no one even tried to talk to me anymore. I began to feel lonely. Two months passed before I got the courage (talk) to some classmates.
Finally, I found they were (normally) people, just like me. I began to develop some relationships and even good friendships. I learned a valuable lesson about (make) friends that year.
