Read this passage about Wei's first week in secondary school: First Week at Riverside Secondary Wei had always been nervous about starting secondary school. Although he passed his PSLE with good grades, he worried about making new friends and keeping up with harder subjects. On Monday morning, his form teacher Mr Lim welcomed the class. "Good morning, everyone. I'm Mr Lim, your Form 1A form teacher. This week we'll focus on settling in. Your timetable is in your handbook—flip to page 3. We start each day with morning assembly at 7:30 a.m. If you're late three times, you'll need to see me after school." Wei's new classmate, Aisha, sat next to him. During recess, she asked, "Do you know where the canteen is? I'm completely lost!" Wei showed her the way. They joined the queue at Stall 4, which sold chicken rice and noodles. In English class, Ms Raj handed out a comprehension passage. "Read this carefully," she said. "Underline key words and check if your answers make sense. You have 20 minutes." Wei found the passage challenging, but he remembered his Primary 6 teacher's advice: read the questions first, then scan the text. By Friday afternoon, Wei felt more confident. Although the lessons were harder than primary school, his teachers were helpful. He'd made three friends—Aisha, Ravi, and Ming Hui—and they'd formed a study group. When his mother picked him up, she asked how his week went. Wei smiled and said, "It was tough, but I'm ready for next week."
