LONG READING

Failure is a part of learning. Everyone fails sometimes, but the most important thing is not to give up. When you fail, you should think about what went wrong and try again. For example, Tom failed his English test last month. He felt sad, but he didn’t give up. He practiced more and asked his teacher for help. Next time, Tom is going to study every day before the test. He knows that making mistakes is okay because it helps him learn.
