To begin with, I'm Shelyer from Team 14. Today I would like to qualify the dorms of TCNJ. For my own experience, I want to express that the EK hall have is just perfect, with various facilities and we get personal space to manage our life.
For instance, we have our own room keys. So keeping it carefully is our responsibility. Also, we get laundry here. We can use it if you don't want to hand-wash our clothes. Also, I believe common room is very significant. Communicating is unavoidable in daily lives. We can chat with our friends there. Of course we can get new friends. Usually, we get many team meetings in that room.
In fact, I'm studying in an international school. And I used to enjoy this kinds of dorms when I'm in the dorms of my school.
However, two things there are not so wonderful that I would like to propose is the light and the AC. Sometimes it's even a bit dark when all the lights were turned on. And the AC just too cold and it even are waters dripping out.

Food
I love the foods here so much. Chinese foods are just horrible. I am so glad that I don't have to eat rice which is the worst thing in the world here. Chinese foods are full of sauces and oil, and the desserts taste so weird.
Foods here are much tastier, I can use different condiments, I can eat salad which is audi better than cooked vegetables, and there are edible deserts.

Hello, everyone! My name's Elon, and today I'd like to share something about my favorite competition.
My favorite competition is the Speed Round, in which our team did a quite nice job. Finishing a 60-question test in only 45 min. is not such an easy thing, especially answering them all comectly. Though all the questions are not as hard as those in the other rounds, we still need to pay much attention and write our answers decidedly. It's an examine of how proficient we are in solving Maths problems. However, we also need to have enough quantity of vocabulary. If we look up for words in the dictionary all the time, we won't have enough time for the questions. So this round is really a practice of our knowledge and thoughts.
That's why I like the Speed Round best. That's all. Thank you very much!

Difference
So what I am going to talk about is the difference between China and America. Through what I've seen these days.
The First Difference is the food, China's food and America's have a lot of difference. In China, the food is more complicated. Normally, when you go to a restaurant in China, you first need to order the food you want open the menu. And there are a lot of kinds for you to choose. But in America, most of the restaurant I went is fast food like Hamburger, Pizza, and Hot dog, which can be made before you eat and the only than you need to do is to go there to take it. And normally not much choices.
(China use chopsticks)
The second difference is the room. There are few difference between China's school dorms and America school dorms.
The first difference is the amount of people. In China collage, normally there are 4-6 students in one room. The second difference is the bathrooms. In China there are no bathroom in rooms, there is only a pulic ones for each floor, which I don't really few like. The third difference is space. Normally a room have not much fire space in China, not even for 6 person. But in these the rooms have a lot of free space, and the room for two people here is even bigger than the 4-6 people room in China!
Okay, then it is the last difference. The last difference here is the difference between China and America, which is people in China use, Chinese and people in America uses English!

My favorite lecture is Meditations on AIME problems by Evan O'proney. In USA, winning is AMC and AIME is an important way to enrich our view. We can view USA MO and IMO although it's difficult. So the lecture is more benefit for Mr. Evan told there boring and difficult problems in more interesting way. He didn't tell those difficult problems in AIME. But he told there easier problems in different ways with deeper meditation. Maybe the lecture is more closed to those in China. But it shows the difference between Chinese and American competition. Other lectures may be fit for the purpose of Math League. But it is a conclusion. We need to use it in practical problems. That's the reason of me to like the lecture so much.
