Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, a student from No.1 Middle School. I’m glad to learn that you want some part-time reporter, and I’m quite interesting in it.
In your opinion, I’m fit for the job. As a student, I’ve read a lot and have many knowledge in different fields. I’m fond of English but do well in both speaking and writing. Besides, I’m easy to get along. I enjoy working together with the others. Above all, I once work as a reporter for the broadcasting station of my school, there I gained valuable experience in reporting. So I’m sure I will do the job good if I get the position.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

Do you have trouble accepting yourself when you make mistakes? Do you find it hard to learn from your mistakes, so that you keep falling into the same old habits? 1., especially if we're coming from a background where "excellence(卓越)" is confused with ''never making a mistake". Here are steps you can take to accept your mistakes more actively.
Accept your mistakes
2.. It's also a valuable source of instruction and will enrich your life. It can teach you to try new things. For example, you may want to learn how to cook. Start out, and say to yourself "I'm new at cooking and I'll probably make mistakes".
Know the force of habit
Sometimes, mistakes are not caused by an effort on our part, but the lack of it. Things that we do frequently, such as driving to work or making breakfast, can become so habitual that we don't focus on them. This is actually helpful, because it allows us to spend energy on other things that require more attention. 3..
Tell mistakes from bad decisions
It's important to know the difference between mistakes and bad decisions. Mistakes are simple errors. 4.. Mistakes are understandable and may require less focus on correcting. You should accept bad decisions just like mistakes, but you must pay more attention to them.
5..
It's important to avoid getting trapped(困住)in what you're doing wrong. Try to balance self-criticism with celebrating what you do well. They can be things you're already good at or some areas where you're seeing improvement. There's no point trying to improve if you can9t appreciate the result of your efforts.
A. Focus on your strengths as well
B. Bad decisions are more by design
C. Making mistakes is part of human beings' life
D. There are many kinds of mistakes we often make
E. It can be challenging to accept that we've made mistakes
F. Avoid making mistakes is the best way to be successful
G. However, sometimes this habit can lead us into making mistakes
