                    Grade 10! She did not             at all when she
                    arrived. Her first          was that English was
                    difficult and people spoke too quickly, but soon
                    she found that if she          the ideas, not the
                    single words, she could understand! She also made
                    friends and began to           the city with them.
                    Her new friends were happy to explain things to her

                    after class. Her favourite class is chemistry because
                    the teacher lets the students do cool           !
                    Tian Hua is not sure how well she will do at school
                    this year, but she is not nervous any more. She is
                    excited!
