Story

It was the first day of the new school year, and everyone was excited to see their friends again. But today was different. There was a new student in their class, and everyone was curious about him.

When the bell rang, the teacher, Mrs. Thompson, stood up and smiled. «Class, we have a new student with us today. His name is Tom, and he’s just moved here from another city. Let’s make him feel welcome!»

Tom stood up nervously. He was tall and had short brown hair. «Hi, everyone,» he said, waving a little. «I’m Tom, and I hope we can all be friends.»

The students smiled and waved back. Max, who sat at the front of the class, raised his hand. «Hi, Tom! Where are you from?» he asked.

«I’m from a city called Riverwood,» Tom replied. «It’s really different here. I hope I can learn all about this place.»

«Don’t worry,» said Lily, who sat next to Max. «We’ll show you around and help you get used to everything. It’s not so hard once you know where everything is!»

At lunch, Tom sat with Max and Lily. They showed him where the cafeteria was and what the best foods to try were. «You have to try the chocolate chip cookies,» Lily said. «They’re the best!»

During recess, Tom played soccer with the other kids. He was a little shy at first, but soon he was laughing and having fun. «This is great!» he said, kicking the ball toward the goal. «I love soccer!»

The next day, Tom came to school with a big smile on his face. He had made a lot of new friends already, and he felt like he was starting to belong. He waved to Max and Lily. «Thanks for everything,» he said. «I think I’m going to like it here!»

Max and Lily smiled back. «We’re glad you’re here, Tom,» Max said. «Welcome to our school!»
