3. I am really looking forward to making

【分析】
翻译句子时，需先拆解中文句子的核心结构与关键短语，再匹配对应的英语句型和固定表达：1. 第一句是同级比较结构，需用as...as表达“和……一样”，“煮火锅”和“吃火锅”是并列动作，用动名词短语作主语，且用it指代避免重复；2. 第二句核心是“某一天充满……”，对应固定搭配be full of，地点状语“在中国”放在“第一天”后；3. 第三句考查固定搭配look forward to doing sth（to为介词，后接动名词），“期待做某事”是核心结构，“交朋友”用make friends，“中学”对应middle school。
【解析】
1. 中文核心：煮火锅（Cooking hot pot）和吃火锅（eating it，it指代hot pot）一样有趣，用as...as结构，时态可根据语境用一般现在时或过去时，故译为：Cooking hot pot was/is just as fun as eating it.
2. 中文核心：我的第一天（My first day）在中国（in China），充满乐趣（be full of fun），描述过去的第一天，用一般过去时，故译为：My first day in China was full of fun.
3. 中文核心：期待做某事（look forward to doing sth），交更多朋友（make more friends），在中学（in middle school），时态用一般现在时，故译为：I am really looking forward to making more friends in middle school.
【答案】
1. Cooking hot pot was/is just as fun as eating it.
2. My first day in China was full of fun.
3. I am really looking forward to making more friends in middle school.
