Do you like science?
Answer 1: No, not a bit. Even though they are quite useful in our lives, none of these subjects Biology, Chemistry and Physics tickles my fancy. I guess, probably I’m hopeless at lateral thinking. Despite my best efforts, I would always struggle to get a grasp on those scientific ideas.
Answer 2: To be honest, I never particularly liked studying science at school. Some things about biology interest me, such as genetics and the process of evolution, but I soon feel out of my depth when reading about them in detail. Physics and chemistry are even worse. I’m pretty clueless when it comes to these subjects and try as I might, I can never seem to even feign an interest in them.
What is the most difficult part of studying science?
Answer 1: Well, I think there’s no specific part that stands out as being more difficult than the rest. However, most people would find chemicals symbols/formulas and equations incredibly confusing and frustrations to learn. It’s also challenging to comprehend numerous complex theories in Physics, especially Quantum Entanglement.
Answer 2: To put it plainly/simply, I would say, everything. There is no one part that stands out as being more difficult than the rest. To me, progress and development in science is so rapid that the things you learn are often quickly outdated and replaced with different rules. If I was a science student, i would find this incredibly confusing and frustrating.
Do you like watching TV programmes about science?
No, not really. As I briefly mentioned before, anything science related is not my cup of tea. The one exception is the Discovery channel or nature or wildlife documentaries somehow arouse my interest. Because the content is very accessible, comprehensive and not heavily scientific.
How has the science you studied helped you?
Answer 1: To be honest with you, I don’t think it has helped me that much. Although I cannot deny the fact that it does allow me to quickly figure out some basic calculations on a daily basis. In addition, it has provided me a strong foundation of knowledge about the surrounding environment and our beautiful Universe.
Answer 2: Frankly, I don’t think it’s helped me that much. One thing that has stuck with me all these years is the chemical elements and their symbols on the periodic table, but unfortunately, I’ve never needed to apply that knowledge in a practical way.
