It is a life-long benefit to lay a solid foundation for your academic development. In the primary stage, Languages and Mathematics are of great significance for many reasons: First of all. Languages are indispensable for reading and communicating. Without equipping yourself with a good grasp of Chinese, you cannot fully and clearly express yourself, while, without a foreign language, you cannot easily expose yourself to most advanced knowledge in your field. Same as Languages, Mathematics can benefit one's logical ability. Undoubtedly, other subjects and disciplines are of great significance in their own terms. It is so hard to tell which one is the most important one. For example, Sports and Music hold the same extent of importance for an individual's intellectual development.
