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. 词汇 积累 1.challenge/'t l nd / n．挑战；艰巨任务→vt.怀疑；向……挑战(词类活用) 2.confusing/k n'fju z ?/ adj.难以理解的；不清楚的；令人困惑的 3.quit/kw t/ vi.& vt.(quit，quit)停止→戒掉；离开(工作职位、学校等) (熟词生义) 4.sign up (for sth)报名(参加课程) 5.on one’s own独自地 6.hand out分发 佳句背诵 1.Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge.(动名词短语作主语) 从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。 2.I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year.(so that引导目的状语从句) 我会找到一个自己提高的方法，这样明年我就能加入球队了。 Period Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas———通文本 Step Ⅰ Read for the main idea (Ⅰ)Read Letter 2 and match the main ideas of each paragraph.
