This afternoon, we had our chemistry class in the science lab. The lab is new and the lesson was great, but the guy next to me tried to talk to me the whole time. I couldn't concentrate on⑥ the experiment⑦. I really wanted to tell him to please be quiet and leave me alone⑧！

What a day! 【2】 This morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn't feel awkward⑨ or frightened at all. I miss my friends from junior⑩ high school, but I believe I will make new friends here, and there's a lot to explore?【3】 at senior high. I feel much more confident? than I felt this morning. I think that tomorrow will be a great day!
【2】此句为What引导的感叹句。
【3】to explore为不定式作后置定语，修饰a lot。
