Competition
Good morning/afternoon everyone, I'm Bill, talking about our feelings and opinions towards the competition. The round we liked the most is the relay round. It is truly a time when we got to really work together and trust each other, must them on their ability and the answer thy give. Undoubtedly, the joy after getting a right answer is overwhelming. However, mistakes are not inevitable. It was definitely important, even vital, to express caring and encouragement. As a team, we worked together and helped each other, keeping the positive and encourage atmosphere around us.
Now, let's move on to talking about the part we liked the least. To be honest, it is hard to decide on one that we liked the least. All of the four rounds were exciting and challenging experience that, after all of this, have left a mark on our roads of growing up. They not only challenged our math skills, the competition also encouraged teamwork and communication skills. Together with the hard work we gave, we learned lots and lots from the competition and each other.
Now, you might think I have covered everything already. Unfortunately you made a mistake. After all if the statements above. I would also like to share a few comments I have. Firstly, I think the difficulty of the individual round and the speed round are not balanced. Some of the speed questions are beyond what many students have learned leg equation for wrcles. Apart from that, I think the scoring is not balanced well enough. The individual scores weigh too much in the team score, which makes the team unimportant in comparison. The difference made in the first round barely counts as the competition proceeds into the individual rounds. From my perspective, the team round should be adjusted so that overall they weigh more than the individuals. The competition already has an individual prize that empathizes the individual ability, the team prize should not be affected too much by the individual score, in order to provide a better balance and a better encouragement on teamwork and communication.

Food
The food in American some is fine but some are taste very bad. Also it is very unhealthy. It always have lots of fried food. It has high calorie. If we eat too much, it will cause the physical disease. It also will make people be heavy. The American food are very single just have burger or french fries. But in China, there is a lot of different. Like Hot Pot, steamed Dumplings, I am sure you will like Chinese.
If you can, you must try to have the Chinese food. But in America the gummy is very tasty. I like the gummy bear most. Also I very like to drink the unsweet tea. It is very good to drink after have food. Thank you.
Also in China there is a lot of different sauce. Except the ketch up. In China we have the soy sauce, Chinese spice, and the chilli sauce.

Something about Sam & Marrisa
Okay, so today I'm gonna talk about my counselors, Sam & Marrisa.
Well, to begin with, since this is the second time I came to this camp, it's also my pleasure to see former counselors again, like Christine, Jacob, Yasmin & Juan. Thank you for taking care of us during the one-week period. Right, let's get back to our to pic. Sam and Marrisa are two of the most caring counselors I've ever met. We've got a lot in common actually. Marrisa, she loves Taylor Swift as I do; Sam, loves drawing which I sometimes did during the lectures. More than that, they were so helpful & warm-hearted. Since we had a very busy schedule, we actually didn't have sufficient time to go to the STARBUCKS in the book store in the previous days. Sam & Marrisa just ran to the STARBUCKS and bought the drinks for us, only for us. That was the most impressive detail in the whole camp. In our daily life, they are in charged of our every movement. They had a huge sense of responsibility. They are the ones in the best. Thank you Sam, thank you Marrisa.

Hi, everyone! I'm Christina. It's my pleasure to meet you all. Today I'm going to talk about the dorms in America. I remember when I first came to the dorm here, I thought "Is this a place where normal human can live? This is too cold!" Then, I walked to my bed and saw the quilt. I was surprised again. "Are you kidding me? It means we're going to spend 10 days in a cold place with a thin quilt like this!" I'm sure most of you came to your dorms like me. But then, I finally knew that how to adjust the temperature. So how I think it's a great advantage of the dorms. But it's not the only advantage of the dorms. There are also some other advantage. The dorms are big and clean. In my opinion, it's a good place to study and you can finish many Maths problems here. Because it's quiet enough to make you think seriously. And it's a good place to have fun too. You can play cards or video games. However, I think it's the best dorm that I have never seen before. I love it! Thank you very much.

Hi, I'm Tom. Today I want to talk about my new friends at the Math League.
I made many new friends there, some are in our group, like Bill and Henry, some are not, such as Tony. We have the same hobby, we play the same game, we help each other, we learn from each other. I feel very warm with them. Before I went there, I am afraid for loneliness, but now I never need to worried about that. In my team, our group members are all very united, we get on well together. Our counselors are very friendly, they help us from the difficulty. During the time with them, I feel really happy.
Thank you Math League, thank you my friends! That's all, thank you.

Hello everyone. I'm Yushu. Now I would like to make a brief evaluation for the lectures we had these several days.
1. The favorite & Least Favorite Lecture:
After asking my peers, as a result, 2 of the lectures had the majority vote.
The first one is the "Rectangle Games" we had on Sunday, 29th of July, because the teacher/speaker explained all the theory in a simple way, and it is impressive for finding so much strategy and theory from just the easy games such as Tic-Tac-Toe.
The second one is the "Graceful Gaph", which we had on 23th July. Because, it was interesting as we never thought that we would find so much Mathematic just from a graph like a caterpillar, and it is more important to realize the "caterpillar graph" is related to so many mathematic problems, and the graceful graph made those problems simple.
In conclusion, we can find out the most "popular" lectures are the ones that had an interesting theory, simple to understand, but are still really useful in your real life, and that's the biggest highlight of American Mathematics.
The last thing I want to say is to express my feelings. For the room we had the lectures: BAD. Firstly, the room is too BIG and the groups at the back couldn't listen clearly, so people are losing their attention and starting to set bored. Secondly, I suggest to have a black/white board in the classroom so it's better for the speaker to teach.
