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

3. 介词后可接whether引导的宾语从句，但不接由if引导的宾语从句。
句中的介词about后接which引导的宾语从句，which courses在从句中作宾语。

一坚持：insist
