We students all have our favorite subject. Some like Chinese, others like physics, still others like chemistry, but my favorite subject is maths.
Maths is a subject that develops our thoughts..There's a saying in Maths called "all roads lead up to Rome. " One Maths problem may have many ways of solving it. Those ways are just like paths through the mountains. Some are straight and short. That is to say they are easy to get the right answer. And others are long and curving like snakes. They are very difficult to understand. If you could find the straight and short ones you can get to your goal in no time. Otherwise, you may get lost in the moun-tains.
Another reason I like maths is that I think maths is fun. Some of you may disaGREe with me. You may say, "Are you nuts? I don't think maths is fun at all. It's nothing but a subject with numbers that drive people crazy. "That may be true. But if you look at maths in another way, then you may change your mind. Just think of every maths problem as a piece of ancient artwork done by Picasso! When you are working on the problem, it's just like trying to understand what that piece of artwork means. Isn't it fun when you can understand it while others cannot? Even if you cannot understand it for now, when you are thinking hard on something, then it's fun too, at least to me. Do you know how much I like maths? I usually spend all my free time working on maths problems. I think it's a good way of killing time and entertaining yourself.
The last but not the least reason for my interest in maths is that it is a good way of practicing my problem-solving skills. In real life, everyone meets with problems every day. Every society has its problems too, for example, the environment problem in China today. I think one of the purpose of school education is to help its students to develop their problem-solving abilities. Learn-ing maths is really an excellent way.
So that's why my favorite subject is maths. When you are free, I suggest you try maths too, because you may like it too.
