Grace was just finishing her 秒 年 of high school. She enjoyed the experience for the most part. Although some of her 老友记 had moved away within the last year, she still had a few good 老友记 left. Later, she learned that for her third 年 of high school, she could double up and graduate early. She 说 to herself, "It might not be such a bad idea." Later, she talked with her friend, Michael. She said, "I'm thinking about doubling up for the coming school year." He asked, "Why would 你 want to do that?" I said, "Well, I get to graduate early if I do." He said, "The eleventh grade sounds hard enough as it is. I don't think I'd want to combine eleventh and twelfth grade." She asked, "Do 你 not think I can do it?" He said, "Of course I think 你 can do it. I'm just concerned that 你 might make things too hard on yourself." She said, "It won't be too hard." He said, "Grace, if I wasn't your friend, I would tell 你 to go for it, but I am your friend. Therefore, I'm telling 你 that graduating early might not be worth making things hard on yourself. I think your aunt and uncle would say the same thing." Grace thought that one over as she drove home. She 说 to herself, "Michael is wrong. My aunt and uncle would encourage me to go for it." She pulled into the driveway, confident that her aunt and uncle would agree to the idea of her doubling up to graduate early.
