[Debate/토론] (Q&A) Mathematics
최고관리자 | 21-04-06 01:59
When I was a kid I was top of the class in maths. I was really good at mental arithmetic and doing sums. Things were easy back then. It was all addition and subtraction, multiplication and division. I knew my times tables like the back of my hand. Then, things got difficult when I was about 14. We had to learn stuff like algebra and geometry and lots of other stuff I can’t remember the names of. Suddenly. I wasn’t so good at maths any more. I think there were a few reasons for this. One was my maths teacher, another was because I sat at the back of the class, and another was I talked a lot. I still like maths and know I would be good at it again if I studied. I did statistics when I was at university and loved that.
* top of the class = 반에서 수석/ mental arithmetic = 암산/ do sums = 산수를 하다/ times table = 구구단/ know ~ like the back of one's hand = ~을 환히[잘, 자세히, 속속들이] 알고 있다/ algebra = 대수학/ geometry = 기하학/ statistics = 통계학/ at university = 대학 시절에
