If your good in English, your somewhat weak at Math but if your good in Math, you dislike English?

Question

I love English and I think it is better than Math for me because... in English you can develop speaking skills, you learn aobut art, literature, you can appreciate the beauty and culture of different countries. You can always articulate your thoughts and share them with others. In English I love curling up with an exciting novel and pretend to be in it... it's so fascinating! I learn about romance, adventure... it's so thrilling!!
In Math, I feel so bored like, I'm in some restraining order with the imaginary world. There's always an exact answer and so much rules and formulas. I am so "Mathaphobic" and not only that but there's nothing interesting about it for me. Sometimes I wonder why on Earth I need t know all that stuff.

Is it true that if your good in English, your somewhat weak at Math but if your good in Math, you dislike English?

Answer 1

Not necessary that if you are good in one, you would be weak in another. However, many people would tend to compare the two in relative sense. Relatively better in one than another - that's more possible. Of course, there are also many like you who are very well-verse in English, and are weak in Math, and vice versa.

I guess you are an Arts person more than a Science person. Or you can also briefly say that the semantics parts of your brain is relatively more developed than your spatial and logical parts.

Answer 2

English

Answer 3

I don't think that your statement is true. There are many mathematically inclined people who are strong in fields such at English and Philosophy, and I would imagine it goes both ways. I understand where you are coming from when you say English is exciting, however, I personally feel significantly more excited when learning about mathematics. You somewhat contradict yourself, you say you enjoy pretending to be in a novel, to learn about adventure and other events that you never experienced yourself, but you feel bored when learning about the "imaginary world" of mathematics? Math has an excited history involving the characteristics you enjoy, romance and adventure. I strongly suggest if you want to give Math a chance, then you learn about the history, I guarantee you will develop an appreciation for the beautiful field of study.
Why do you need to learn math you ask? I am assuming you are not going to be a scientist or engineer, where math is used widely. Besides from common arithmetic, an average person most likely will not use math directly. However, when one learns math, no matter at what level, they develop necessary skills in problem solving and analysis. Math provides a logical structure of thinking, which does come in handy in everyday life. Math is one of the oldest subjects taught in schools, don't you think it must be important? At the very least, even if you don't believe in what I am saying, at least appreciate what has been discovered in the past couple thousand years in human knowledge. One only lives once, why not learn as much as we can while alive?

Answer 4

Most people are either book smart or socially smart. Did you grow up watching a lot of T.V. and listening to music? These things might contribute to your interest in English and literature. People like Mozart because he was technically proficient and dazzling as a musician while others like Beethoven because he was emotional and romantic. It's the age old question, are you a lover or a fighter?

(Consider yourself lucky, technically smart people are usually devoid of any personality!)

Answer 5

Not at all. Skills vary, of course, but skill (or lack thereof) in one subject is not a predictor of skill in another. I do both mathematics and English quite well, but my artistic skills are virtually nonexistent.

Answer 6

nope!
i love both! ^__^
and i equally do fine in both

Answer 7

nope!
i hate both! o_O!
