最近ノート取り方を変えて、それから数学に自信がついてきた。例えば、テストの時これまでは、何もわからないから、成績が悪かった。でも、昨日テストをしたら、結果はまだわからないけど、やっと上手くいったと思うよ。の英語

I recently changed the way I take notes, and ever since then I've gained confidence in math. For example, usually when I take tests, I don't know anything, and I get bad grades. But yesterday I took a test, and although I don't know my score yet, I think it went well for once.

I don't get why test scores are more important for the education system than real learning. Just because that kind of system is easier to implement, doesn't mean it's the best choice.

When I was a university student in Kyoto, I was doing part-time jobs, skipping classes, and having fun with my friends, just like other students.

What surprised me most when I first entered college was how few of my classmates knew how to study efficiently.

Nowadays, however, calculators can be used freely in school examinations, and already in many schools the only sound to be heard during a math exam is the sound of children tapping on their calculators.

To make time for skating, I did my homework during recess and training breaks and got changed in a car on my way to school after morning practice.

"What are you studying at university?" "Philosophy" "Philosophy? How is that going to be useful?" "So that I can learn about the importance of things which have no use."

"I guess you just slept through our last class." "Yeah, I wasn't able to keep myself awake any longer. Do you think the teacher noticed?" "They didn't seem to notice, but you completely dozed off, so all the boys were laughing about it." "Yikes. That's probably even worse."

"I just ran into a friend today who had transferred schools a while back." "Cool!" "Yeah. Then, we talked about movies, and they suggested we go watch one sometime soon. Is that OK?" "Sure! But, is this friend a boy or a girl?" "....."

When I was in elementary school I thought, from the bottom of my heart, that the teachers were great people and I was influenced by the teachers' attitudes and moral lessons, but middle school was just a business like any other.

When I was in middle school, I had a friend in the track club who normally studied 3 hours a day. He didn't speed up the pace before tests. On the contrary, he didn't have any club activities and so had lot of free time, so before the test we would go to his house and play video games every day. If we hadn't done that, I would have gotten better grades too.

I think I'll have more fun reading something now. I was always part of the bookworm group, but there are times when I just don't feel like reading anything. Right now I'm getting lots of "Read! Read!" waves coming at me.

Once you go ahead and start, even the tiresome work of adding and subtracting figures is interesting in its way.

Um, so you don't understand? Well, I just assigned this one specifically to you because if these problems are all too simple, anything else would be insulting to you. Remember it if you have time.

In middle school, I was talking with my therapist, and seeing as we were having such a great talk, I suddenly thought "There's a chance", and I tried to get a kiss. But she told me to stop. Then, as I headed to my next class, I felt so embarrassed.

Lots of people don't get into university the first time around. Why don't you pull yourself together, spend an extra year study, and try again next year?

"Well, even so my score is far above yours isn't it?" "What did you say!? If I was to go all out you'd be as nothing to me!"

Although I broke test tubes and played about with chemicals for fun, I did occasionally manage to obey the teacher's instructions as well; repeating experiments that others had long ago undertaken.

But the boys I defeated in elementary school started growing bigger and stronger and I couldn't beat them anymore.

I wish I could care more about my grades but it seems that, at a certain point of my life, I decided they wouldn't be so important anymore.

"You should write a novel or something." "Nah, I don't think so. I can't see myself coming up with anything good, anyways."

I had imagined that the newbies fresh from university would probably be stuck with all the backstage work - collecting reference material, getting copies and such but I couldn't have been proved more wrong.

A man with a knife entered the school grounds, killed seven second graders and one first grader, and wounded many others.

Even though I put my all into this to begin with it ended up being menial work, so I think it didn't turn out great.

I was surprised when I got a call from my daughter's workplace, saying that she had suddenly collapsed. She had struck her head, so I was worried, but was relieved when I was notified by the hospital that they had found nothing wrong with her.

His book is oriented towards children, but here and there are words that he has never seen before. He doesn't know whether it is just him, or if they are just simply difficult words, but he finds them not worth the effort to look up in a dictionary, so he just keeps on reading.

But looking back on those days, I think the friendly competition was essential for my development.

You say that you're afraid of being disliked by other people, but you have some people that you dislike yourself, don't you? Arithmetically speaking, there are an equal number of people who you don't like that don't like you back. I'm not saying that if you end your dislike of someone, someone else will stop disliking you as well; it's just that you can't change the fact that if you dislike someone, then someone else dislikes you as well. Your life will go much smoother if you just give up and accept that truth.

"I think it is exhausting, but todays troubles will surely be rewarded" "Don't say such half-minded things, even if you don't believe them completely."
