Going to a new school can be difficult, but this passage will help you in the beginning. Here is something to help you to fit in(融入).

First, take a day to enjoy your school. You won’t fit in at school if you don’t know the school. Ask for a school map. Try to get to know every corner of your new school. A good school handhook can be of great help. But to make it easy, ask the people near you where something is—tell people that you are new when you need help.

Be nice to everyone. Be nice to everyone, the young or the old, because they might just be your next teacher or friend.

Get to know your teachers and pay attention in class. Teachers always pay attention to(关注) new students, Talk to them and find out more about them. Never test their limits(底线)—don’t go too far, or you may end up getting into trouhle（麻烦）

You need to make friends. Talk to different people. Be yourself and don’t lie. This is YOUR school now, take a chance(机会) on being who you weren’t at your old school. Join a few clubs or sports teams and make more friends in this way.

Be yourself and be polite. Don’t worry too much about what people think of you. Be true, be yourself, and be nice to everyone, no matter how mean(unfriendly) they may seem at first. It’s often the “girl/boy that I did’t like at my new school” that ends up being my friend after a little while. But then again, don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself if it’s very clear that you should.

Work hard to fit in while still being yourself. The first few weeks are always hard, but you’ll soon get used to it.

When we talk to someone face to face, we try to be polite to them. We believe nicely and are careful not to hurt their feelings. Sometimes when we are on the Internet, we forget that we are also dealing with real people. Did you know there is also a polite way to behave on the Internet? It’s called Netiquette. Here are some examples:

When you type, do not use all big letters. For example, “HELLO, HOW ARE YOU?” looks like you’re shouting. It’s better to write the sentence, “Hello, how are you?”

In a chat room, it’s polite to say hello to other people when you enter. Before you leave the room, you should say goodbye. If you don’t, people may think you’re rude.

If you make a joke, remember to tell people. You can also typeJ or :p. we can use symbols to express many different emotions. On the Internet, we don’t usually see people’s faces. So, we type things to show our feelings. It’s sometimes important to do so, or other people may misunderstand us.

If you belong to an Internet community, try to follow these simple rules of Netiquette. They help make the Internet a nicer place.
