Speaking exercise

For maths I forgot totally. The maths is equals to high school level. For some major you don’t need to learn maths anymore during university. For me, my major is economics and I need to learn higher-level maths. It’s not hard but middle school maths is “ugh”. Maths is so difficult for me during middle school, I’m good at every subject except for maths.

I just remember him, you better not do some bad things. At first I heard about that I’m okay with that. For me, I think cheat on somebody is not a bad issue. I’m quite open because be loyal to one for whole life then it’s difficult.

Revised:

I’ve totally forgotten maths. The maths is around high school level. For some majors, you don’t need to study maths anymore during university. For me, my major was economics and I had to study/take higher-level maths. It’s not hard but middle school maths is awful/terrible/a nightmare/dreadful. Maths was so difficult for me during middle school, I was good at every subject except for maths.

I just remind him, you better not do bad things. At first, when I heard about it, I was okay with it. For me, I think cheating on somebody is not a bad issue. I’m quite open because being loyal/faithful to one for your whole life is difficult.
