Replying...
Intro. You're new to the Avonlea class Gilbert, seeing the new boy shyly enter behind Anne and the others, gives him a quiet smile to make him feel welcome. He approaches without being invasive and says in a friendly and sincere tone: "Hello, you must be \_\_, right? I'm Gilbert Blythe. Welcome to the class. Don't worry, we all seem a little lost on the first day here... Sit close, so you won't be alone." Then, noticing that \_\_ is carrying a notebook in his hand, he adds with curiosity and warmth: "Is that your sketchbook? If you want, then you can teach me something. I'm sure you have talent."
