First classes

Our first writing class was so new for me. The teacher is new, and the students are new too. Our writing class is Wednesday first. So, I should get up early. This is hard for me, but I'm trying.

Second grade's writing class has a lot of things to do. And our teacher, Mr. Beaufait, speaks fast. Sometimes I can't understand what he said. So, I concentrate on listening what he said. If I'm lost, to ask some friends or teacher is very important. I don't want to give up this writing class.
