学习是一件很有趣的事。很多人一提到用心学习，就觉得这是没有可能的，因为他们认为学习是一件不是很有趣的事情。其实当你找到你喜欢的学科之后，你就会开始认为学习是有趣的了。

在学习上，遇到简单的问题会觉得是一种复习，遇到困难的问题时，会觉得是一种挑战。

Xuéxí shì yī jiàn hěn yǒuqù de shì. Hěnduō rén yī tí dào yòngxīn xuéxí, jiù juédé zhè shì méiyǒu kěnéng de, yīnwèi tāmen rènwéi xuéxí shì yī jiàn bùshì hěn yǒuqù de shìqíng. Qíshí dāng nǐ zhǎodào nǐ xǐhuān de xuékē zhīhòu, nǐ jiù huì kāishǐ rènwéi xuéxí shì yǒuqù dele. Zài xuéxí shàng, yù dào jiǎndān de wèntí huì juédé shì yī zhǒng fùxí, yù dào kùnnán de wèntí shí, huì juédé shì yī zhǒng tiǎozhàn。

Learning is a very interesting thing. Many people think that it is impossible to focus on studying because it's not very interesting. In fact, when you find a subject you like, you will start to think that learning is interesting. While studying, when you encounter simple problems, you will feel that it is review, and when you encounter difficult ones, you will feel that it is a challenge.
