Hi ! My name is Adam and I’ m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing .
First , I had to think very carefuly about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones:maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’ m good at it.
I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’ t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’ t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday , we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.
I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’ m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, and it’ ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still , I’ m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.

1.What challenges did you meet after you entered the school?
2.How did you deal with them?
When I first entered the senior high school, I was anxious very much. I had many challenges. There was a lot of homework. It's hard to adapt to a new environment. I asked my teacher for help, he adviced me to do my homework selectively. Since then, for some very simple questions, I would omit so that the effect of doing homework is greatly improved.
