In our life, math is always mysterious and useful... From ancient to contemporary period, math has assisted people to get through those unintelligible stuff. For instance, at the beginning of our history, people didn't have as much comprehension on universe as we do now. After philosophers' observation plus mathematics, those ideas gradually form as "Cosmology"... Math is associated with our life, everyday, we use it not only on business but also on our academy. In this case, we can see math problems everywhere nowadays, which means people need to learn math in order to have enough mathematical ability. At this point, math question sometimes confuse people... The question asks the student to find X, therefore, you should write a number for it instead of pointing the X out immediately. Ironically the student find where is X exactly... obviously, X is right over here...

My life in winter break

Time passing quickly, I got into this school last year before winter year, now another year has passed. I still remember the first day of school, I was afraid to speak English, I couldn't understand what is teacher talking about, I didn't even dare to ask my classmates what is happening now or what is the teacher teaching about... okay I think I diverged from my topic. So people asked how was my winter break? I wouldn't say it was bad, because I learned a lot during this two weeks. I went to SAT class in order to improve my score, and also I don't want to feel too stressful in my Junior year, so I was trying to study ahead. The class called "SAT strategy", apparently, this program is teaching about how to use strategy to solve each problems on different section. For instance, we have certain steps for answering question in critical reading. First we read the blurb; second, we pick the question to answer from easy to difficult; third, we draw windows, if the question wants you to read from line 13~15 then we draw a window from 8 to 20 which is + - 5; forth, we write down our observation before answer questions. After those instructions, we will able to answer each question correctly by crossing out the options that you think is not in the text or too extreme. We practiced on inference, purpose, tone, vocabulary, sentence comprehension questions. And after one week, we would have SAT exam in order to see how much had you improved. The SAT report had analysis on examining what kind of question you are good at, then you would get idea which question in reading section you should ask first instead of spending time on answer the question that you are not good at. For reading section's strategy was useful and helpful for me, I haven't known how much have I improved compare to the my original reading score, but I recommend people who want to get a good score on their SAT can go to Princeton Review. It was really good, well... I would like to explain how they taught us on math and writing section, but I think it might take long time to explain those... so you can go figure out by yourself, those strategies are really good as well. In conclusion, that's what i did for my winter break, and i am glad that i had learned a lot.
