Now I would like to talk about my first day at school. I vividly remember my first day at school. It was in 2007. I’ve been waiting for the whole summer to start a new chapter. I felt excited and at the same time I was nervous. As it was my first day at school and didn’t know anyone. I couldn’t sleep the night before. Even my school was Ingan City. And it was not far from my living area. Um, there was only an opening ceremony in the morning at 1030. Uh, I left my home at 930. And arrived there, uh, at about ten. I still had some time. So I decided to walk around my school. And wanted to observe the whole building. The building was so huge, I hardly found the hall where the ceremony was going to be organized. As soon as I entered the hall, I was shocked to see so many people sitting there. But after seconds, everything was okay. And I just sat among those people. After the ceremony, our teacher came to us and, uh, introduce it to herself. And led us to our own class. There she introduced, uh, us our classroom. And we get asquintteed with all of the classmates. And, uh, I was very glad to have such aior teacher. And because of her, I wanted to go to school every day. Well, that was the day that I have experienced it many years ago. And that still has unforgettable memories.

Now I would like to talk about my first day at school. I vividly remember my first day at school. It was in 2007. I had been waiting for the whole summer to start this new chapter in my life. I felt excited and at the same time, I was nervous. As it was my first day at school and I didn't know anyone, I couldn't sleep the night before. My school was in Ingan City, and it wasn't far from where I lived. There was only an opening ceremony in the morning at 10:30. I left my home at 9:30 and arrived at the school around ten. I still had some time, so I decided to walk around and observe the whole building. The building was so huge, I had trouble finding the hall where the ceremony was going to be held. As soon as I entered the hall, I was shocked to see so many people sitting there. But after a few seconds, I calmed down and just sat among the other students. After the ceremony, our teacher came to us and introduced herself. She then led us to our own classroom. There, she introduced us to our classmates. I was very glad to have such a kind teacher. Because of her, I looked forward to going to school every day. That was a day I experienced many years ago, and it still holds unforgettable memories.
