Adam is a freshman at senior high school. It is a really big challenge to go from junior high school to senior high school. He was a little (confuse) in the first week. In the beginning, he had to think very carefully about which courses to take. The school (advise) helped with the choice: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. Chinese is hard to learn, Adam hopes to be fluent when he graduates. He was also recommended (sign) up for advanced literature because of his good command of English. He tried to join in extra-curricular activities as well. Trying to join the school football team, he was told that he didn't play well enough. (obvious), this made him unhappy, but he won't quit. He plans to improve his own so as to make the team next year. He joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, they prepare some food and hand it out to homeless in the community. He has to study harder and get used to (be) responsible for a lot more. Though a bit worried about falling behind in his advanced course and dealing with all the homework, he is more than happy to be there. Studying hard isn't always fun, but that will prepare (he) for university or whatever else (come) in the future.
