The first few days of high school can be exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. You have the freedom that you lacked in middle school and the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities. Yet, you can’t help but worry. What teachers will you have? Will you make new friends? Will your teachers and classmates like you? Slowly, you get to know your classmates and teachers, and it’s not so scary anymore. You join after-school activities or try out for sports teams. In other words, you’ll get used to your life in high school, but you’ll never forget the highs and lows of the first few days. Write a story about your first few days in high school. Explain what you were expecting and whether your expectations were close to reality. Describe any problems you had and how you resolved them. Explain how the schoolwork is different from what you were used to in middle school. How did you deal with the changes? Also, describe what you discovered about your current academic identity and the skills you have. Discuss the goals and habits you think you'll need to be successful in high school. Make sure that your story has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

In comparison to middle school, my first year of highschool didn't seem too bad. Although the workload was a bit more, and I was in a larger school so I had to learn to navigate my way to classes all over again. However, my second year of highschool and the upcoming years are much different. We always heard about our teachers preparing us for high school, well, we finally made it. Now it was onto bigger things, such as college. This meant more studying, harder work, more challenging topics and classes... A very important aspect of highschool is time management, you have work to do for all your classes and tests to study for but you also want a social life, part of the experience is learning how to be responsible for yourself as you get older.

Explanation:

on my last

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
