　　You've just finished with middle school and you start wondering，"What's high school really like？"Is high school a lot different from middle school？Is it going to be hard starting out in a new place？

　　Most high schools hold a freshman class before school actually starts．When you talk to people in the freshman class，you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are，excited，curious，maybe a little afraid．Talking about a question of common interest with your classmates could start a new friendship．

　　Middle school taught you the basics （基础） of study and social skills while high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent．It's perfectly OK if you're nervous at first．Just be patient and keep trying．Once you've got used to your new independence you may find you can go farther than you ever imagined．
