學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)，重要的是理解，而不是像其它科目一樣死背下來。數(shù)學(xué)有一個特點(diǎn)，那就是'舉一反三”。做會了一道題目，就可以總結(jié)這道題目所包含的方法和原理，再用總結(jié)的原理去解決這類題，收效就會更好。學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)還有一點(diǎn)很重要，那就是從基本的下手，穩(wěn)穩(wěn)當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)娜ゾ殻磺笕款}目都會做，只求做過的題不會忘，會用就行了。在做題的過程中，最忌諱的就是粗心大意。往往一道題目會做，卻因粗心做錯了，是很不值得的。所以在考數(shù)學(xué)的時候，一定不要太急，要條理清楚的去計算，思考;這樣速度可能會稍慢，但卻可以使你不丟分。相比之下，我會采取稍慢的計算方法來全面分析題目，盡量做到不漏。學(xué)習(xí)是一生的事情，不要過于著急，一步一個腳印的來，就一定會取得意 想不到的效果。

學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)，你只要稍不認(rèn)真，可能都會影響你很久。老師在講這道題目的解法，公式時，你剛好走神，你這個肯定不會。數(shù)學(xué)的知識都是一環(huán)套著一環(huán)的，小學(xué)給中學(xué)做鋪墊，中學(xué)給高中做基礎(chǔ)。初一時，有點(diǎn)知識點(diǎn)你不會做，到了初二，初三，高中你就可能有很多題型你都不會做。初二的根號，你的乘方不會，廢了，勾股定理？微積分？你通通都不會。所以初中的每一個知識點(diǎn)，必須了解的滾瓜爛熟……

高中的知識相對初中是一個擴(kuò)展和延伸的過程，很多在初中不理解的東西到了高中會有一個更深層次的認(rèn)識，初中沒學(xué)好不用擔(dān)心，到了高中很多東西會重新接觸，很多知識也是不同于初中的，只要相信自己，每天進(jìn)步一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，多思考，多提問，多總結(jié)，會有一個好的結(jié)果的。

那數(shù)學(xué)在我們生活中到底有什么用呢？

就拿噴泉來說吧。你們一定看過噴泉的弧度和高度還有噴出來的水，你一定會覺得很美麗吧？那噴泉中有哪些數(shù)學(xué)知識呢？首先最基本的你要學(xué)會拋物線，還有函數(shù)，三角函數(shù)，二次函數(shù)等，你才可以勉強(qiáng)制造出一個還不錯的噴泉。

數(shù)學(xué)是神奇的，數(shù)學(xué)知識是無窮無盡的，數(shù)學(xué)公式是非常奇妙的，而數(shù)學(xué)思考題則可以挖掘出我們的智慧。數(shù)學(xué)后面更深的故事還等著你來探索。偉人曾經(jīng)說過：“數(shù)風(fēng)流人物，還看今朝”。未來的創(chuàng)造來源于今天的努力。

The study of mathematics is a process of accumulation and application. Therefore, a necessary prerequisite for learning mathematics is to accumulate and apply whenever is possible. There are many ways to study mathematics in daily life.

To learn mathematics, the important thing is to understand, not to memorize. One mathematics problem can infer others. After discovering a topic, one should summarize the methods and principles in the topic and then use them to work on similar problems. It is also essential to start with the basics and practice steadily. Rather than knowing how to do all the problems, one should also focus on the problems that he understands and try not to forget them. Also, while doing mathematics problems, the most taboo is carelessness. It is quite a pity to get a question wrong because of carelessness. So when taking a mathematics exam, one should not be rushed but carry out thinking and calculation clearly; this may be slower, but it does not lose marks. The calculation can be slower so that the problem is being analyzed thoroughly and not missing anything. Learning is a lifelong process, and people should not be anxious about it. Just take one step at a time, and one will achieve unexpected results.

If one is not serious about studying mathematics, it may affect him for a long time. When the teacher talked about the solution and formula of this problem, and one happened to be distracted, he certainly will miss the point. The knowledge of mathematics is linked. Elementary school provides the foundation for middle school, and middle school provides the foundation for high school. A small knowledge defect in the first year will result in a large group of questions unsolvable in the second, third year, or even high school. For instance, if one cannot understand the idea of power in the Year 7, he would not understand the square root sign in Year 8, and also the Pythagorean theorem, calculus, etc. Therefore, every knowledge point in middle school must be understood thoroughly.

High school knowledge is the expansion and extension to middle school. Many things that did not reveal fully in middle school will have a thorough explanation in high school. Don't worry if one doesn't fully understand it the first time in middle school because many things will be revisited in high school. Although many contents are different, as long as one believes in oneself, makes progress every day to think more, ask more questions, and summarize more, one will have a good result.

So what is the use of mathematics in real life?

Take the fountain, for example. One must have seen the arc and curve of the fountain water. It is beautiful, right? So, what mathematical knowledge is there in the fountain? First of all, you have to learn parabola, functions, trigonometric functions, quadratic functions, etc. A good fountain can only be made after one knows all this content.

Mathematics is magical, mathematical knowledge is endless, mathematical formulas are wonderful, and mathematical thinking questions can make a man wiser. There is deep understanding of mathematics waiting for people to explore. The great man once said: 'The number of romantic figures depends on the present.' The creation of the future comes from today's efforts. 

我從一年級開始在綠洲學(xué)習(xí)，一年級到八年級期間，我們的教學(xué)都是雙語的。數(shù)學(xué)相對公立學(xué)校，教的比較淺顯。這讓我這幾年的學(xué)習(xí)較為輕松快樂。但上了八年級后，我偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)我們和公立學(xué)校同齡人的差距，我開始擔(dān)心上國交以后會不會跟不上。慶幸的是，從這學(xué)期開始，學(xué)校的數(shù)學(xué)給了我們一個驚喜，聘用中國的數(shù)學(xué)老師用北師大的數(shù)學(xué)教材給我們上課。雖說講課節(jié)奏快了，學(xué)的東西也難了，但學(xué)習(xí)更有條理、更系統(tǒng)。譬如，在開始每一章之前老師會提供一個課程大綱，這樣我們在學(xué)習(xí)下一課之前可以提前預(yù)習(xí)，極大地提高了學(xué)習(xí)效率。雖然說題做得比以前多，花在數(shù)學(xué)上的時間更多，但這讓我不再擔(dān)心自己是否比別人慢，不僅沒有感到不適反而感到安心。畢竟現(xiàn)在有了一個努力的方向，雖然比以前辛苦，但努力以后感到踏實(shí)。讓我更有信心迎接未來的學(xué)習(xí)生活。

I started studying at GOS in Year 1. From the first to the Year 8, our curriculum is in English. Mathematics is relatively simple in comparison with what has been taught in public schools. Therefore, my study experience is quite relaxing and happy in the past few years. However, when I entered the  Year 8, I began to realize the content gaps between our school and public schools, and I started to worry that I would not be able to keep up with students from another school. Fortunately, starting this semester, SOIS’s Mathematics began to use the Chinese curriculum instead. It is a pleasant surprise that We have a Chinese mathematics teacher and mathematics textbooks edited by Beijing Normal University. Although the lessons are fast-paced and the content is difficult, the learning is much more organized and systematic. For example, our teacher will provide a course outline before starting each chapter to preview before the next lesson, which significantly improves my learning. Although I have to spend more time on mathematics and solve more questions than before, I no longer worry whether I was slower than other school students. I felt at ease rather than unsatisfied. Now there is a direction for me to work hard, and after hard work, I feel at ease. I am more confident to embrace my future study and life.

其實(shí)我也還是一個新生，去年六年級才來的綠洲。比起匆忙體驗(yàn)了一下的小學(xué)，感覺初中在學(xué)業(yè)上的改變就是考試變多了，學(xué)的東西也難了。在小學(xué)，除了數(shù)學(xué)和中文的分班考，就從來沒有考過試。而到了初中，“一周沒有一次考試”似乎成了一個遙不可及的夢想。記得第一個月，一聽到有這么多考試就暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向，累的不得了。不僅如此，還特別緊張，晚上連睡覺都睡的不安穩(wěn)，經(jīng)常半夜驚醒，下意識性地開始背早些時候復(fù)習(xí)的知識點(diǎn)。但逐漸地就習(xí)以為常了，不會再像以前那樣驚慌失措大驚小怪。不管是哪個科目，學(xué)的內(nèi)容也難了很多。以前在小學(xué)，科學(xué)和人文都屬于“topic”，沒有太細(xì)地分開和深入去學(xué)。數(shù)學(xué)也從英文數(shù)學(xué)改成了中文數(shù)學(xué)，難度一下子提升了很多。雖然中學(xué)比小學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)壓力重了很多，忙了不少，但是我卻開心了許多。這應(yīng)該就是“學(xué)習(xí)使我快樂”的感覺！

I still consider myself a new student since I just got in GOS last year as a Year 6 student. To compare with my brief primary school experience, middle school has more tests and more challenging content. In primary school, there were not any tests besides the differentiation test. In contrast, 'exam-free week' does not exist anymore in middle school. Back at the beginning of this term, I was exhausted and befuddled. Sometimes I felt quite anxious and try to review the content that had been taught in the evening.

Nevertheless, I got used to them and stopped panic after a while. The content is more difficult in middle school. In primary school, Science and Humanity were categorized as 'topics' that only been introduced briefly, and Math was following the non-Chinese curriculum; in middle school, however, Science and Humanity are separated, and Math is following the Chinese curriculum, which is more demanding. Although middle school is a lot more stressful and busy than primary school, I am much happier. This should be the feeling of 'learning makes me happy'!
