Are you afraid of math? You are not alone. A dislike of math can begin as early as first grade, and be with you for life. In fact, it becomes common as children start school.
If you suffer(受苦) from math anxiety, it is not because you have no ability to study well, but because, at some point, someone or something destroyed your confidence. If you think you are bad at math, you’ll be bad at it. So you should work hard to regain(恢复) your confidence.
Luckily, the fear of math can be overcome(克服). You can learn math in different ways. For example, search the library for books or study on the Internet to master the fundamentals(基本原理) of math. Do some exercises to build up your confidence. It is also very important to understand how to use formulas(公式) to solve the problems.
Though you may feel it difficult to study math well, yet don’t give up so easily. You can begin by preparing for math classes in advance. Ask questions during class. Take notes carefully and read them again after class. Do all the required homework in time. If you still need help, turn to your teachers or classmates who study math very well.
In short, to study math well, you have to try hard, start early, and never give up.

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. all too often as parents and teachers we do not allow our children to have the same right. We convey either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed
, and that nothing but top performance lives up to our expectations.
When I see a child subject to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie. He was shy and nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure
(keep) him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. He seldom answered questions for fear
he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he
(repeated) checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake. I tried my best to build up
self-confidence. And I frequently asked God for direction. But nothing changed until midterm,
Mary Anne, a student teacher, was appointed to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie
(include), adored her. With her frequent
(courage), Donnie became confident.
A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be funded through government taxes to increase the lever of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly practical answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations set up some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these measures have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these measures may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
