When I was twelve I got to know geometry.

Then I was hipped on it.Slowly I was good at it,because I always took a long time on it.

It's an intresting knowledge,don't you think so ?

I wonder the mathematics in different country.Could you please show me your eudcation about it in your country?

Early than I .


Have you ever learnt three-dimensional geometry?

When I was 15 I get to learn it.

Is your childhood happy?And what's time you are studying in college?

Great !

You are still a student in high school?How old are you?

Maybe you could be my english teacher if possible.

Don't you think it's a good idea?

How many courses do you have in your school?
Could you please introduce them to me one by one?

I'm interested in it.
And where are you from?

Kind Regards

Yours Davis

I guess i was about twelve when i studied geometry. I don't care for math in general, but i liked geometry, because i could draw it, see it laid out. The same way with chemistry--i didn't do terribly well in science, just passing. But in chemistry, i did quite well, because i could diagram the structures.

Yes,I'm Chinese.


Hello,Setanta.I come from China,my english is poor,always can't get the sentence clearly.
< I came to see the circus, not some half-dressed tart spouting dire warnings.>

My friend, I didn't get the meaning clearly.Could you please explain it for me?


Also<see it laid out>,I don't know the meaning either.

I'm interested in Chemistry when I was in high school.I could always get the excellent grade in every exam of Chemistry.

But now,there is nothing to do with my job,and I forgot the knowledge about Chemistry nearly all.

I'm an international freight forwarder in China,but I love the work.No one knows what would happen in the future.Don't you think so ?My friend.
Kind regards

Englishdavis, what you refer to: "I came to see the circus, not some half-dressed tart spouting dire warnings"--is called a signature line. Anyone can add a quote or statement of up to 250 characters, on the profile page, and that will appear everytime they post something. So that is not specific to your question--it appears everywhere i have posted.

The sentence itself is a quote of a passage in a video game i like to play. Many people here use the signature line space to display a quote they particularly like, or believe has profound meaning. I've done the same thing myself. However, i grew bored with that, so i now use something silly, which is why i decided to use something from a video game. It doesn't mean anything, and it has nothing to do with either geometry or chemistry.

I know,I only want to know the meaning of the words from the video game.

I also know that a signature line. Anyone can add a quote or statement of up to 250 characters, on the profile page, and that will appear everytime they post something.

All in all,thanks for your patient explanation.

No problem. The video game is a role-playing game, which is to say, you create a character who then fights his or her way through a series of quests which give experience, thereby enhancing the character's skills, and which yield cash with which to buy better equipment and to stay in the royal suite at the next inn. In the case of that particular line which i'm using, the character goes to a circus tent into which people are disappearing--they enter but they don't come out. Making it past the first few monsters, the adventuring party is confronted by a scantily clad woman who warns them not to proceed further lest the powerful mage who has created the problem destroy them. In fact, the mage is an illusionist, and more than half of the monsters confronted and overcome are illusions, not real. So the main character, rather cynically says:

I've come to see the circus not some half-dressed tart spouting dire warnings.

I would think you learn solid geometry first. Plane geometry requires abstract thought.

I would imagine that most people grasp the concept of a sphere before a circle.

I don't like playing games at all,but contrarily when I was young.

Yesterday,I spent a long time to get my part of forum into English words.My purpose is to let people who speak native english register easily.To help more students in colleges in China.

Do you think it is a good idea?

Awaiting your advise on it.

I assume from this that you host a forum in China, in English, and to which you hope to attract native speakers of English. If that is the case, i do think it is a good idea, but i wonder how much success you will enjoy in attracting native English speakers.
