Homework Dear Bob, How’s everything going? I’m a freshman at senior high school now. I also have some challenges. However, my school life is different from his. I don’t need to choose the courses by myself. I have the regular courses chosen by the teacher. There are kinds of clubs in our school, I feel confused about how to choose a club. The teachers and classmates are friendly, but I still have a big challenge to make new friends. I’m a shy girl and I’m a little frightened to talk with others. Besides, the senior high school life is busier, I feel a little stressed to get used to it. I’m worried as Adam because I am also worried about keeping up with the other students. I know that success comes from hardwork. Anyway, I will try my best and fight for my dream. How about your new school life? Yours Lihua sample $$
