THE FRESHMAN① CHALLENGE
Hi! My name is Adam and I'm a freshman at senior high school. [1]Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing②.
[1]本句中“Going from...senior high school”为动词ing形式作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。

First, I had to③ think very carefully about [2]which courses I wanted to take④. The school adviser⑤ 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 fluent⑥ when I graduate⑦.My adviser recommended⑧ that I should sign up for⑨ advanced⑩ literature⑪ because I like English and I'm good at⑫ it.
[2]此处which引导宾语从句,作介词about的宾语。

I had to choose extracurricular⑬ activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn't play well enough. Obviously⑭, I was unhappy, but I won't quit⑮. I'll find a way to improve⑯ on my own⑰ so that I can make the team⑱ next year. I joined a volunteer club instead⑲. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen⑳ and hand out㉑ food to homeless㉒ people in the community㉓.

I know I'll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to㉔ being responsible for㉕ a lot more. I'm a bit worried about keeping up with㉖ 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. [3]Studying hard isn't always fun, but I'll be well prepared for㉗ university or whatever else comes in the future㉘.
[3]本句中Studying hard为动词ing形式作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式;whatever else意为“无论别的什么”,else跟在不定代词或疑问代词后作定语,whatever引导宾语从句,作介词for的宾语。

新生的挑战
嗨!我叫亚当,是一名高中新生。从初中过渡到高中确实是一个巨大的挑战。第一周我有点迷茫。
首先,我必须非常认真地考虑自己想选什么课程。学校的指导老师帮助我选择了适合我的课程:数学、英语、化学、世界史和中文。我知道中文是一门很难的语言,但是我希望毕业时我能说一口流利的中文。我的指导老师建议我报名学习高级文学,因为我喜欢英语,而且擅长英语。
返回导航
我也必须选择一些课外活动。我想加入校足球队,但是教练说我踢得还不够好。很显然,我并不高兴,但我不会放弃。我会找到一个自我提升的方法,以便明年能加入球队。不过,我加入了一个志愿者社团。每周三,我们都会在食品救济站里工作,把食物分发给社区里的无家可归者。
作为一名高中生,我知道我必须更加努力地学习,并且习惯承担更多的责任。我有点担心在高级课程上无法跟上其他同学,而且很难适应所有的家庭作业。然而,我还是很高兴来到这里。努力学习并不总是那么有趣,但我会为未来上大学或是其他的任何事情做好充分准备。

Dear Worried Friend,
You wrote that you are very worried about your friend, Chen Lei. [1]I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible. You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.
[1]本句中quite well是副词短语作状语;“that you are anxious and feel terrible”是that引导的宾语从句。
返回导航
I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour①. [2]It is not unusual for teenagers② of your generation③ to be attracted to④ computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and [3]makes it very difficult to focus on⑤ other things in life. Some students even become addicted to⑥ the Internet and cannot concentrate on⑦ school and family life.
[2]本句是“It is+adj./n.+for sb. to do sth.”结构,意为“对某人来说做某事是……的”。It是形式主语,不定式短语作真正的主语,sb.是不定式的逻辑主语。
[3]此处是“make+it+adj./n.+(for sb.) to do sth.”结构,it是形式宾语,动词不定式是真正的宾语。
返回导航
I think you should encourage your friend to⑧ try new hobbies. [4]Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will listen to you, [5]since you are his good friend.
[4]“Why not do sth.?”是“Why don't you do sth.?”的省略形式,为固定句式。此句式不表示询问原因,而是委婉地表达建议。
[5]此处是原因状语从句。since常用来表示人们已知的、不需强调的原因。
All the best⑨,
Susan Luo

亲爱的正在焦虑的朋友,
你在信中说你很担心你的朋友陈雷。我非常能理解你的焦虑以及感觉糟糕的心情。你认为你的朋友玩电脑游戏太频繁,在网上花费了太多时间。
返回导航
我建议你和你的朋友谈谈他的行为。对于你们这一代的青少年来说,被电脑游戏和网络世界吸引并不是一件罕见的事。但在网上花太多时间不仅不利于健康,还会让人很难关注生活中的其他事情。有些学生甚至沉迷于网络,无法将注意力集中在学校和家庭生活上。我认为你应该鼓励你的朋友尝试新的爱好。为什么不一起来讨论这个问题呢?我确定他会听你的话的,因为你是他的好朋友。
愿一切都好,
苏珊·罗
