After reading
Adam appears to be hard-working and wants to get ahead in life. I know this because he thought carefully about which courses and extra-curricular activities to take, and thought hard about his future. He is also a kind person, because he joined a volunteer club.
Some of the challenges I face are very much like Adam's, while some are quite different. Unlike Adam, I don't have to choose my courses or my schedule. However, I am worried about my extra-curricular activities and trying to keep my hobbies. My solution to this challenge is to work harder at school so I can make more time for my extra-curricular activities and hobbies.
I don't have to choose my own courses. All day, I am in the same classroom with my classmates, and we all study the same courses.

①because引导原因状语从句,表示理由充分,有必然因果关系,能回答以why引起的问句,语气最强。
I did it because he told me to.是他吩咐我做,我才做的。
易混辨析: because与because of的用法区别
because 为连词,引导原因状语从句或名词性从句。
because of 为介词词组,后跟名词(短语)、代词、动名词或what 引导的名词性从句。
[例句]I didn’t like him not because of his being impolite but because he refused to
take the responsibility.我不喜欢他,不是因为他不礼貌,而是因为他拒绝承担责任。
②since 表示“既然”,引导原因状语从句,一般表示对方已知的、无须加以说明的既成事实的理由,全句中心在主句,语气比 because 弱。
[例句]Since we’ve got a few minutes to wait for the train, let’s have a cup of coffee.既然等火车还需要几分钟,我们去喝杯咖啡吧。

[例句]Study hard so that/in order that you can pass the entrance examination.努力学习,以便你能通过入学考试。
②当主句的主语与目的状语从句的主语一致时,可将此目的状语从句转换为目的状语 in order(not)to do sth/so as (not) to do sth。in order to 可以放在句首,而 so as to 不可以放在句首。
[例句]He hurried through his work so that he could catch the train.
=He hurried through his work so as to/in order to catch the train.= In order to catch
the train he hurried through his work.为了赶上火车,他急匆匆地赶完了工作。
