The Freshman Challenge
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.
我也不得不選擇課外活動。 我試圖加入學校足球隊，
但教練告訴我，我踢得不 夠好。顯然，我很不開心， 但我不會放棄。我會自己 想辦法改進，這樣我明年 就能入選球隊了。相反，
我加入了一個志愿者俱樂 部。每周三，我們會在施 舍處干活，把食物分發給 社區里的無家可歸者。
