Question

Do you learn from your mistakes? I hope so. But have you ever made the same mistake twice? I have. Sometimes I make the same mistake three or four times!

Sometimes, good things happen because of mistakes. Once I got on the wrong train. That was a big mistake. But on that train, I saw a good friend. I was so happy I made that mistake.

Another time I ruined(毁坏)a surprise. My mother planned a surprise party for my father. She told me it was a secret. But I was just a little boy and I couldn’t keep the secret.
