Mathematics gives me a headache
令人頭疼的數(shù)學(xué)
Ask university students what is the most difficult course, and most of them will give you the same answer: advanced mathematics. This is also true for Dai Shuang, an 18-year-old student studying geodesy and geomatics at Wuhan University.
要問大學(xué)生們哪門功課難，大多數(shù)人會(huì)給出相同的答案：高數(shù)。對于就讀于武漢大學(xué)測繪學(xué)專業(yè)、18歲的戴雙（音譯）來說亦是如此。
“Advanced mathematics pushes mathematics to a whole new level,” he says. “It’s so difficult that I get a headache whenever I think about the exam.”
他說：“高數(shù)將數(shù)學(xué)這門學(xué)科提升至一個(gè)全新高度，高數(shù)太難了，我每次想到考試就頭疼。”
According to Dai, studying this course is not easy. “Our professor assumes that we always understand him, so he teaches in a way that only the top students can follow,” he says. He has no choice but to study the course by himself. Apart from participating in social activities, Dai spends most of his spare time reading course books and doing exercises.
戴雙表示，學(xué)習(xí)高數(shù)并非易事。他說：“教授以為我們都能聽懂，所以他選擇一種只有尖子生才能跟上的授課方式?！彼麆e無選擇只有自學(xué)。除去參加社交活動(dòng)，戴雙將大部分課余時(shí)間都花在了課本和練習(xí)題上。
Solution: Following the course is important
解決方法：課堂學(xué)習(xí)是關(guān)鍵
Qin Xia, 22, is a finance major at Renmin University of China. Having dealt with advanced mathematics for almost four years, the senior student has found his way to study the course.
22歲的秦夏（音譯）就讀于人民大學(xué)金融系。他攻讀高數(shù)近四年時(shí)間，如今正在讀大四的他已經(jīng)摸索到了高數(shù)的學(xué)習(xí)方法。
“Most students fear advanced mathematics because they have a negative attitude toward it,” he says. “These students tend to sleep in class or even skip classes.”
他們說：“大多數(shù)學(xué)生之所以談高數(shù)色變，是因?yàn)樗麄儾幌矚g這門課程。這些學(xué)生往往會(huì)在課上睡覺，甚至是選擇逃課?！?BR> In Qin’s opinion, course hours should be valued because it’s difficult to study this course alone. “If students think the class is too difficult or boring they can take notes to stop themselves from getting distracted,” he says.
在秦夏看來，我們應(yīng)該注重課堂學(xué)習(xí)，因?yàn)樽詫W(xué)高數(shù)十分困難。他說：“如果同學(xué)們認(rèn)為高數(shù)課太難或者太無聊，他們可以通過記課堂筆記來集中精力。”
Another part of studying is doing a lot of exercises. “Doing exercises helps in consolidating the knowledge taught in classes and preparing for the exam,” Qin says.
題海戰(zhàn)術(shù)則是學(xué)習(xí)高數(shù)的另一法則。秦夏說：“做練習(xí)提一方面可以鞏固課堂知識，另一面可以幫助你備考?！?BR> Arts

Learning languages is all about memorizing
學(xué)語言全靠死記硬背？
Zhu Tianjiao, 18, thought she would have an easy and colorful life at university that was less stressful than being at high school. But reality proved her wrong. Studying at university is even more intense.
18歲的朱天嬌（音譯）曾認(rèn)為大學(xué)生活應(yīng)該是無憂無慮、多姿多彩的，不像高中時(shí)那么“壓力山大”。但事實(shí)證明她錯(cuò)了，大學(xué)的學(xué)業(yè)沒有輕松，只有更緊張。
Zhu is a Japanese major at Shanghai International Studies University. Since the very beginning of campus life, she has felt under pressure. “All of my classmates are straight-A students, which means I have to spare no effort in studying to keep up with them,” she says.
朱天嬌就讀于上海外國語大學(xué)日語系。自大一開學(xué)伊始，她就倍感壓力。她說：“我們班都是尖子生，這就意味著我必須要在學(xué)習(xí)上拼盡全力追上他們?！?BR> Zhu will have her first university exam in two weeks, and she’s very nervous because she doesn’t know how to improve her language proficiency other than by memorizing words and phrases.

Solution: It is a matter of accumulation
解決方法：要注重日常積累
Xia Bingcong was in the same position three years ago. The 22-year-old English major at Tsinghua University remembers doing badly in her first exam, but figured out ways to improve her language skills in the following years.
三年前，清華大學(xué)外語系學(xué)生、22歲的夏冰聰（音譯）也面臨相同的困境。第考試的失利令她記憶猶新，而在接下來幾年中，她終于摸索出一些提高語言能力的方法。
According to Xia, memorizing, listening and reading are all equally important in language learning. “After my first failure, I started watching American programs and TV series. I also read English newspapers every day. In one year’s time, I found that my English improved a lot, which made taking exams easy,” she says.
夏冰聰表示，在語言學(xué)習(xí)中，“聽、讀、記”同等重要。她說：“在我第一考失利后，我開始收看一些美國節(jié)目和劇集。此外，我每天還堅(jiān)持讀英文報(bào)紙。只用了一年的時(shí)間，我的英語水平便突飛猛進(jìn)，各種考試都可以輕松應(yīng)對?！?BR> In her opinion, cramming a few days before the exam is never the best way for studying a language. “Learning a language is about accumulation, so in order to grasp a language, it’s wise to study on a daily basis,” Xia says.
在她看來，考前臨時(shí)“抱佛腳”絕非學(xué)習(xí)語言的佳途徑。她說：“語言學(xué)習(xí)是個(gè)日積月累的過程，所以想要掌握一門語言，明智的辦法便是‘好好學(xué)習(xí)，天天向上’?！?
