Hi! My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is    1    really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.

My adviser recommended that I should sign up for    3     (advance) literature because I like English and I’m good at it.

I had to choose extra-curricular     4     (activity), too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough.     5     (obvious), I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way     6     (improve) on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.

I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible     7    a lot more. I’m a bit worried about     8    (keep) up with 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.     9    (study) hard isn’t always fun,     10    I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
