这就是了一一终于到了高中学校!我性格并不外向，所以现在感觉有点焦虑。我想给别人留下良好的第一印象。我会交到朋友吗?要是没人跟我说话怎么办呢?

I just had my first maths class at senior high school! The class was difficult, but the teacher was kind and friendly. He even told us a funny story and everyone laughed so much! I found most of my classmates and teachers friendly and helpful.

This afternoon, we had our chemistry class in the science lab. The lab is new and the lesson was great, but the guy next to me tried to talk to me the whole time. I couldn’t conc
entrate on the experiment. I really wanted to tell him to please be quiet and leave me alone.

今天下午，我们在科学实验室上化学课。实验室很新，这节化学课也很精彩，但坐在我旁边的那个家伙一直都想跟我说话。我没法专心做实验。我真想对他说:请安静点，别打扰我!
10:29p.m
What a day! This morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn't feel awkward or frightened at all. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and there’s a lot to explore at senior high. I feel much more confident than I felt this morning. I think that tomorrow will be a great day!

很棒的一天!早上我担心没人会跟我说话，但我的担心是多余的。我一点也不觉得尴尬或害
怕。我想念我初中的小伙伴们，但我也相信，我在这儿会结交到新朋友，而且高中会有很多事物等待着我去探索。我感觉现在比早上有信心多了。我相信，明天将是美好的一天！

THE FRESHMAN CHALLENGE
新生的挑战
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.
嗨!我叫亚当，是一名高中新生。从初中过渡到高中确实是一项巨大的挑战。高中的第一周我就有点迷茫。
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.
首先，我得非常认真地考虑自己选什么课程。学校的指导老师帮助我选择了适合我的课程：数学、英语、化学、世界史和中文。我知道中文是一门十分难学的语言，但我希望在毕业时能说口流利的汉语。指导老师还建议我选修高级文学，因为我喜欢英语而且成绩不错。
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.
我还得选择一些课外活动。我想参加校橄榄球队，但是教练说我还不够好。很显然，我并不高兴，但我不会就此放弃。我会到一个让自己提高球技的方法，这样明年我就能加入球队了。不过，我还是参加了一个志愿者社团。每周三，我们会在食品救济站里干活，把食物分发给社区里的无家可归者。
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 courses, 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.
我知道作为高中生我得更加努力地学习，学会习惯承担更多的责任。我有点担心在高级课程上无法跟上其他同学，而且要适应所有的作业也不容易。然而，我还是很高兴来到这里。努力学习并不总是那么有趣，但我会为未来上大学或是任何其他的事情做好充分准备。
