①How do you feel when you make a mistake? No one likes making mistakes. It often makes you feel unhappy. However, the feeling you get after making a mistake helps your brain adjust (调整) itself and learn. For example, you can't learn how to ride a bike without falling off it, or make friends without sometimes saying things you regret. Getting things wrong helps us adjust ourselves, so we can do things differently.
②____. Accepting and learning from our mistakes gives us the courage to try harder next time. Psychologists (心理学家) at Michigan State University call this a "growth mindset". A growth mindset means you see failure as something you can learn from, instead of something you regret. Elsie, 13, said it was hard to accept mistakes but they made her a better learner. "I once made a cake that came out like two big biscuits. I was upset but I realized I hadn't read the cookbook properly. Now I always read the cookbook twice."
③Alexandra Eidens from a magazine for kids said we should be open to mistakes because learning from them can help us believe in ourselves and face difficulties bravely. Try talking about one of our mistakes with family or friends. Whether the experience is funny or painful, sharing the story with others will help make it clear how the mistake happened. Eidens also suggests writing down our mistakes. She believes it gives us a chance of self-expression, creativity and learning. It's also a good way for us to learn from our mistakes.
Hi Li Ming, l just start my life at a new school. Yesterday, I found that we all have to do sports on Wednesday afternoons. As you know, I'm not interested in sports. Now I need to choose one event from volleyball, tennis and running, but I have never tried any of them. Have you done any of these? Which is the easiest? Which do you think I should choose? Can you give me some advice please? Write soon. He Wei |
Hi He Wei, In my opinion(看法), l think you needn't worry too much about doing any sports. Anyway, just remember that doing sports is a great way to make friends, so it should be a positive(积极的) experience in the end! I've played a lot of tennis, and learning it takes plenty of time. It's very hard, so perhaps I advise you to do something else. I think running is a little boring, and you need to keep practicing it every day. For that reason, you'd better avoid it. Why don't you take up volleyball? I suggest a team sport because you'll surely meet lots of people. And it is a good thing for you at a new school. Also, unlike tennis and running, it is not so difficult to learn volleyball. You can also have fun even if you don't play it very well. Li Ming |
