Adam is a freshman in senior high school. He found going from junior high school to senior high school was a little (challenge). Some things really got him confused.
First, he had to think about the courses he should take. He hoped to be fluent Chinese. So his adviser (recommend) that he should sign up for literature. Also, he had to choose extra-curricular (activity). He was interested in football, but the coach told him that he didn't play well enough to join the school football team. (obvious), he didn't want to quit. He decided to find a way (improve) on his own in order that he could make team. Every Wednesday Adam volunteered to hand out food to the homeless in the community. was obvious that he was learning to take more responsibilities in society.
At first, Adam felt a little worried about his advanced courses because he found it was difficult to get used to (do) all the homework. But by now he has realized that he works hard enough he will be well prepared for whatever comes in the future.
On the (one) day of my senior high school life in the USA, I showed a great interest in one of the (lecture), marketing lecture. My teacher, Mrs.Tolman, (recommend) that I should register a (nation) marketing club called DECA which attracts many students with interest in business. So I did.
The first challenge was (collect) money for the marketing competition later in the year by selling candles. Mrs.Tolman said the competition was due in a week and that 40 percent of the income would go into my personal account, made me (addict) to the selling.
At beginning, I tried to sell some candles to my host mom. She said that if I could show the candles (confident) and do a wonderful sales presentation, she would certainly buy some. I started my topic with a firm handshake. Then I focused all the different kinds of candles and the special sales I could offer and convinced her that our candles were the best choice for gifts and home decorations. Finally she bought three candles.
