Mistakes are unavoidable in life. But attitudes towards it may make a difference.
I still remember how my spoken English was improved. In a beginning, I always kept silent in our oral class to avoid make mistakes. Before long my teacher got to know about my situation. He encouraged me to speak out that I thought. Whenever I made mistakes and felt discouraging, my teacher and my classmates would help me figure out how I must have avoided them. I also joined in an English club to get more chances to speak. Practice made prefect. Now I can talk fluent in English.
Just as the saying goes, “Every bean has its black.” Don’t afraid of making mistakes, because success is just waiting for us.

Pa passed away long ago, but I try to ______ his example every day. The year we spent Thanksgiving at our home on Lake Tawakoni was such a ______. I was preparing a dinner party for the day.

The holiday season is supposed to be the most festival and fun time of the year, but all those plans and expectations of joy can turn together and more stressful than they sound. This is especially true for those of us who struggle with mental illness.
1. Sometimes you’re forced to spend time with family you rarely see and don’t always get along with. Or you are off from work, with more time to think troubling thoughts. Or you are put into party situations that you don’t like.
When you have a routine, it is easier to manage whatever mental struggles you may face, and when that routine is broken, it can trigger things you may not be ready to face. 2. It was during the holidays that I hit a low moment and, with the help of my mother, decided to seek help for my eating disorder.
During the holidays, I often feel as if I were supposed to be everywhere with everyone.3. To fight this, I’ve developed a mantra (咒语): it’s not selfish to take time for yourself.
Take a walk in nature. Talk to a friend you trust. Sit out one of the holiday gatherings in favor of some personal time. 4.
Trying to spend all of your time pleasing everyone else is not only exhausting — it is impossible. And you know why? 5.
A.I know it has for me.
B.The holidays break your routine.
C.There are many things crowding in your mind.
D.I will accompany my friends to go wherever they like.
E.I have the added guilt of knowing it’s the season of giving.
F.Just do whatever helps you calm down and gives you a break from the stress.
G.If you take a little time for yourself, you will be a much better company for those around you.
