Answer B:
I love my mathematics class. I didn’t like the subject when I was young. I thought it was a very
hard subject. I always asked my father or teacher for help. However, I got challenged by the
complex formulas. Since then, I have loved solving math problems. I especially love algebra and
geometry. In my class, I always ask the professor on how we can simplify a certain formula.
We also learn how to use math in everyday life. I enjoy teaching my classmates who have
difficulty as well. They are thankful for my help. All in all, the class is very helpful in making me
knowledgeable in class and sociable among my classmates as well.
