Reading Passage

Read the passage carefully before answering the questions.

When Anna moved to a new city, she had to start at a different school. At first, she felt nervous because she did not know anyone there. Her parents told her that it would take some time to make new friends. On her first day, Anna arrived at school early. She went to her classroom and chose a seat near the window. A girl named Sophie sat next to her and smiled. Sophie introduced herself and asked Anna where she was from. During the first lesson, the teacher asked Anna to tell the class a little about herself. Anna talked about her old school, her hobbies, and her favorite subjects. She was a little nervous at first, but the students listened carefully. At lunchtime, Sophie invited Anna to sit with her and some other students. They talked about music, sports, and their favorite movies. Anna discovered that she and Sophie both enjoyed drawing and listening to pop music. By the end of the day, Anna felt much better. She still missed her old school, but she was excited about her new one. After a few weeks, she had made several friends and felt comfortable in her new classroom.
