Is it good to be in the middle? Sometimes, no, like when you’re in the middle seat on a long car ride. But sometimes, yes, like when you’re in the middle of a great movie. What will happen next? Middle school is a little bit like that.

For a kid, going to middle school is a big change: First, it often means moving to a new building. You have to take some time to adjust (适应). Second, it may mean taking a different bus, with different students. Third, the friends you made in primary school may end up going to different middle schools.

All that can make you feel a bit scared on the first day of school. Here is some advice to help you on your first day.
