Nearly 60 percent of the adult respondents to a recent survey said they could not remember what exactly they learned in middle school. Among the subjects the respondents had forgotten the most were math, chemistry and physics. Following is what China Daily's mobile news readers said they learned in middle school and which they think influenced their adult life.

Most of what we learn in middle school is normally forgotten with the passage of time goes, especially because we don't get enough opportunities to use them in real life. But what we learn in middle school are not only lessons from books, but also the ability to understand, think and analyze. This ability stays with us throughout our life and helps us in every applicable field. And by influencing the way we think, this ability becomes our most powerful weapon in life.
