reading and thinking.

2 read the text quickly to find the main idea of each paragraph.the freshman challenge.

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 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 advisor 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.I tried to join the school football team,but the coach told me that i didn't play well enough obviously I wasunhappy but.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.
