I am an editor of an American magazine. The other day, a teenager wrote me an email. The following is the content: I am good at English and Chinese, but learning math is very difficult for me. So I get very tired and bored of math. Do you know any advice on how to learn math? The following is my reply to him:
Math is that subject for you as it was for me and countless others. You've already completed the first step by identifying math as your primary subject to improve. Now you just need to act.
First, you can preview the lesson before class or days in advance. So you won't fall behind during class.
How much do you study? Make math your priority. You can also ask for your classmates' assistance. Someone who is getting top marks in your math class may be able to spend some time helping you out. Studying can also include watching videos of math concepts that your don't understand.
We don't want to blame others for our issues. But it is also possible that your teacher isn't making class as fun as he or she can. It is just the way of student life. In this case, you will have to be proactive（积极主动的）. If you can think of any fun games to play to use math concepts you have learned, I am sure your teacher wouldn't mind hearing them.
A. It may become a little easy for you.
B. How do you do your math homework?
C. I can't even follow the teacher during class.
D. Some teachers will be more "boring" than others.
E. Some subjects in school will require more effort than others.
F. That way, you can prepare yourself for the material ahead of time.
G. They might help simplify complicated topics and make learning fun.
