Making mistakes
It’s good to make mistakes．And here’s why．
First of a11．mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things．It’s always good to try new things because when you’re trying new things you are growing．If you never try anything new,how can you improve and develop?The simple answer is,“You can’t.”
Another good thing about mistakes is this：When you are making mistakes，you are learning．Consider this：Edison failed 1 0,000 times— before he perfected the light bulb．When he was asked how it felt to fail that many times，he replied that he hadn’t failed 1 0,000 times，but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．
Finally,when you make a mistake，you are much closer to success．Why?Because every time you make a mistake，you are one step closer to success．But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking．Instead，when you try something new,you have to think it over，so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes．
There is an old saying that goes．“If you are not making mistakes．you are not trying hard enough.’’ So go forward and make mistakes．And learn．And grow．And succeed．According to the passage，when you are making a mistake，that means ．

What are these important things? Tests! They have to spend much time on all kinds of tests at school. So many of them almost become bookworms(书呆子) . Books stop them from going out for sports. Because of the pressure from their parents and teachers, the students have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. As for the students, they want to get good results in order to improve their studies. So it is necessary for them to give all of their free time to their studies and stop their school sports.
