was gently filtering through the trees, softly through the trees, softly illuminating the historic brick buildings and causing the green grass to sparkle in the early morning dew. I gazed out the window at this captivating scene and thought to myself “No freshman should be so luck百度文库!”
Passage A
• Think About It • Read About It • Talk About It • Write About It
1. What do you expect to learn as a freshman?
Reference:
The most important thing a freshman can learn is to learn how to learn.
Deciding what classes to take is the first step. At Harvard, the only mandatory class for freshmen is an expository writing class — I’m actually able to take any classes I desire this year and the class variety is amazing! How do I decide? Thankfully, Harvard allows freshmen to sample classes during “Shopping Week”. Classes meet at their regular times, and we’re able to attend as many (or as few) as we want. If I ultimately decide to take a course, I’ll be held responsible for any work done during the Shopping Week. On the other hand, if I visit a class that sounds great in the catalog only to find that the class doesn’t suit me or the professor is boring, I can decide not to take it! Equally challenging is choosing from amongst the incredible number of sports teams, publications, musical groups, theater productions and clubs. Which to get involved in?
We arrived at my dorm — it’s called Canaday. I’m sharing a suite with four other girls that has four single bedrooms and a large common room. We live on the top floor, which has really high ceilings and skylights. Canaday is only a two-minute walk from the dining hall and most of my classes. I adore my roommates. We’re all completely different in terms of background, ethnicity, religion, and interests — we reflect the diversity that Harvard is so proud of. During this first week, it’s a relief to have four girls I can call friends and that can help me through this adjustment process which is quite difficult at times. There are a lot of important decisions I have to make, and I’m finding it tough without the aid of my parents or best friends.
2. How do you guess the author of the passage would feel about her first week at Harvard, a world famous university?
Reference:
The student thought that her first week at Harvard was very impressive, because the new college life would be a once-in-a-life journey for her, at a world-famous university in particular.

My First Week at Harvard
The day a freshman moves into Harvard Yard is said to always be a gorgeous one and this was certainly true of my first day at Harvard. As my parents and I drove through the main gate and entered the Yard, the sun
