As we know, everyone can make mistakes, but don’t worry about it. The following is what we should do when we make mistakes.

Firstly, just admit (承认) it. Don’t think that our mistakes are caused by others. Be brave and face the fact that we have made the mistakes. Don’t blame (责备) other people, and don’t cheat ourselves, either.

Secondly, solve it at once. In order to stop the problem from getting worse, we should act quickly to solve it. If we don’t act and deal with the problem quickly, it’ll only make us feel more stressed.

Thirdly, realize that making mistakes is the best way to learn. Those who have made the most mistakes can get an A, for they are the ones who have learned the most. The more we learn from our mistakes, the cleverer we are.

And lastly, think about what we can learn from our mistakes. What caused us to make the mistake? How can we avoid making the same mistake in the future? When we act with a method to get a good result, do it that way next time.

Since two years ago, Where Are We Going, Dad? ( 《爸爸去哪儿?》) has become one of the most popular TV shows. On the shows, the five fathers and their children traveled around China, riding camels through the western deserts, fishing on the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare(费用) home in southwestern Yunnan Province.

One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, so some people try to help him. Another one must survive with his son for three days in the desert. Because the father can’t cook, they only eat instant noodles(方便面).

Why is Where Are We Going, Dad? so popular? Because it is about how Chinese parents look after their kids. The show makes modern parents think about what they should do with their kids. “In traditional Chinese culture, the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentler(温和的) on their kids and more involved(参与) in their upbringing(培养)” said Li Minyi, a professor of early childhood education.

In the past, children were taught to obey their parents’ wishes and look afte r them in their old age. But today Chinese parents increasingly realize that respecting their children’s choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society. As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time.

A heavy rain hit a s mall village. The floods (洪水) started to rise. A priest (神父) was praying (祈祷) in a church (教堂). The flood was almost above his knees. A rescuer (救助者) shipped to the priest and said, “Godfather, come up or you will die.” The priest said, “No, I’m sure God will save me. You may leave for others.”

After a while, water covered his shoulder, the priest had to move onto an altar (祭坛). This time a policeman came over in a yacht (游艇) and said, “Come up or you will die!” The priest said, “No, I have to keep my church. I believe God will save me. You just go and save other people.” A moment later, his church was flooded. The priest had to hold firmly (牢固地) the cross on the top of the church.

A helicopter (直升机) was flying over him where a pilot put down a rope ladder and shouted, “Godfather, come up! This is your last chance! We don’t want you to die!” But he said firmly, “No, I have to keep my church. I believe God will save me. You just go and save other people. God will be with me.” Great flood soon came over. The priest was killed.

The priest went to Heaven (天堂) where he saw the God. He asked angrily, “God, I served you honestly, but why didn’t you save me?” The God said, “Didn’t I? The first time I gave you a ship and you refused. The second time I gave you a yacht you refused again. The third time I sent you a helicopter you still didn’t accept. So I thought you wished to stay with me in a hurry.”

In fact, the obstacles (障碍) in our life are because we are stubborn (顽固) and ignorant(无知).
