Hi Ben,How are you?I’m writing to tell you about my new school.It’s called Senior High School.In England you change schools when you are about11years old,don’tyou?^①

Here in America,most students change schools at about10and again at about13.At10we move from elementary school to Junior High.That is when we move from having one teacher for all our subjects to having adifferent teacher for each subject.^②But our school is still quite small,though not as small as our elementary school.We move to Senior High at13.This time some of my friends are changing schools with me.Some of them are going to adifferent Senior High.Sometimes aJunior High School is next to aSenior High School.My Senior High is in adifferent place from the Junior High.I have to take the bus and it takes longer to get there.It is alot bigger too.There were about900students in my Junior High,but there are about3,500students in Senior High.Wish me luck on my first day!
