Question

  Each of us fails from time to time.If we are wise,having enough experience and knowledge,we regard these failures (失敗) as a necessary and l   part of learning. But often as parents and teachers,we don't 2  this right (權利) to our children.

   Donnie was a third grader in my class. His 3   about failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 4   answered my questions—he was afraid of making mistakes.

   I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed 5  midterm,when Mary,a new teacher,came.She was young and pretty,and she was loved by every student 6  Donnie.lt was her who made a big difference to Donnie later.

One morning,they were doing math problems at the blackboard.Donnie had copied the problems clearly and 7  .But heM missed the fourth problem and began to cry with his head in his arms.

   I didn't know what to do. Suddenly,a smile 8  on Mary's face. From the desk she got a box 9  pencils. “ Look,Donnie”’ she said gently,kneeling (蹲在) beside him.‘‘I've got something to 10  you. ”She removed the pencils,one at a time,and placed them on his desk.

  “ See these pencils,Donnie”. she continued. “They 11  Mrs Landon and me.See how the erasers are worn (磨損) ？ That's because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again.That's what you 12  learn to do,too.”

   She kissed him and stood up ,“Here”’she said, “I'll leave one of these pencils on 13  desk,so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes,even teachers." Donnie looked up with 14  in his eyes and a smile.

   The pencil became Donnie's prize. That,together with Mary's encouragement,gradually made him understand 15 the meaning of making mistakes is—it's all right to make mistakes,as long as you erase them and try again.
