1) At what age did you start studying mathematics?
I can't exactly remember, but it was probably in my first year at primary school when I was 5 years old. I probably learnt simple addition at that age.
中文大意：記不清了，大致是從小學(xué)5歲時(shí)開始學(xué)習(xí)一些簡(jiǎn)單的加法。
2) Do you like mathematics? Why / why not?
I don't dislike maths, but I wouldn't say that I've ever really liked the subject either. I'm happy to do simple calculations, but my brain can't cope with the complex stuff!
中文大意：不討厭也談不上喜歡。我喜歡做些簡(jiǎn)單的計(jì)算，但是我不能處理復(fù)雜的運(yùn)算。
3) Is it necessary for everyone to learn mathematics?
Yes, I think it is. We all need a basic grounding in maths so that we can do daily tasks, like managing our money, working out bills, and so on.
中文大意：是的。我們都需要與數(shù)學(xué)有關(guān)的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)去處理一些日常的事務(wù)，例如理財(cái)、處理賬單等。
4) Do you prefer to use a calculator when doing mathematics?
It depends. I quite like exercising my brain with anything that's easy enough, but I use the calculator on my phone for anything tricky.
中文大意：視情況而定。我喜歡通過做一些簡(jiǎn)單的計(jì)算來鍛煉思維，但是如果是機(jī)關(guān)比較多的計(jì)算我會(huì)使用手機(jī)上的計(jì)算機(jī)功能。
