THE FRESHMAN CHALLENGE
Hi!My name is Adam and I'm a freshman at senior high schoot Going from junior high schoot to senior high
school is a reatty big chattenge.The first week was a tittte confusing.
First I had to think very carefuttu about which courses l wanted to take.The schoot adviser hetped me choose the
suitabte ones maths,Engtish,chemistry,wortd history,and Chinese.1 know that Chinese is a very difficutt
tanguage but士hope to be fluent when士araduate.My adviser□recommended that士shoutd sign up for ad应anced
titerature because l tike Engtish and I'm good at it.
Ihad to choose extra-curricutar activities,too.ftried to join the schoot footbatt team,but the coach totd me that1
didn't ptay wett enough.Obviousty,1 was unhappy,but t won't quit.I'tt find a way to improve on my own so that
I can make the team next year.Ijoined a votunteer ctub instead.Every Wednesday,we work at a soup kitchen
and hand out food to hometess peopte in the community.
1 know 'tt have to studu harder as a senior hiah schoot student and get used to being responsibte for a tot more.
I'm a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course,and it'be quite difficutt to get
used to att the homework.Stitt I'm happu to be here.Studuina hard isn't atwaus fun.but i'it be wett prepared for
universitu or whatever etse comes in the future.

Dear Worried Friend,
You wrote that you are very worried about your friend Chen Leil understand quite wett that you are anxious and
feet terribte You think that your friend ptaus computer games too often and spends too much time ontine
I recommend that you tatk to your friend about his behaviourit is not unusuat for teenagers of your generation
to be attracted to computer games and the ontine world But spending too much time ontine is unheatthy and
makes it very difficult to focus on other things in tife.Some students even become addicted to the internet and
cannot concentrate on schoot and famity tife.I think you shoutd encourage your friend to try new hobbies.Why
not discuss the probtem together?1 am sure he witt tisten to you,since you are his good friend
Att the best,
Susan Luo
