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?carefully?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. 参考译文： 嗨！我叫亚当，是高中一年级的新生。从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。第一周有点让人迷茫。 首先，我必须非常认真地考虑我想选哪些课程。学校的指导老师帮我选择了适合我的课程：数学、英语、化学、世界史和中文。我知道中文是一门非常难学的语言，但我希望毕业时能说得很流利。因为我喜欢英语而且成绩不错，我的指导老师建议我选修高级文学。 我还得选一些课外活动。我想参加学校足球队，但教练说我踢得不够好。显然，我很不开心，但我不会放弃。我会自己想办法提高，这样我明年就能加入球队了。不过，我还是参加了一个志愿者社团。每周三，我们会在食品救济站里干活，把食物分发给社区里的无家可归者。 我知道作为一名高中生，我必须得更加努力地学习，学会习惯对更多的事情负责。我有点担心在高级课程中无法跟上其他学生，而且要适应所有的作业会相当困难。不过，我还是很高兴来到这里。努力学习并不总是有趣的，但我会为未来上大学或是任何其他的事情做好充分准备。 重点词汇： 1.?freshman? n. 新生 2.?senior? adj.
