2 Choosing __________ courses(ones) The school adviser
______________________.
adj.
the suitable
A. easy
B. careful
C. hopeful
D. sad
recommended/ helped him
First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser 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 fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I'm good at it.

Para. Challenge Feeling Solution
3 He will find a way to ______________________________.
Join the football team
improve in order to make the team next year.
Unhappy but determined（adj.坚定的）
I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn't play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won't quit. I'll find a way to 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.
What club did Adam want to join
Did he join in Why
Para.3
What club did he join at last
I know I'll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I'm a bit worried about keeping 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. Studying hard
isn't always fun, but I'll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
