d a case 1 a mistake helped you understand an idea or a skill? For me, it was sailing. I took a sailing class when I was in high school. No matter how many times I read the 2 (explain), I could not understand the difference between a “track” and a “jibe” two methods of turning a boat one much 3 (safe) than the other. Later, one day, when I was sailing, a heavy wind blew up. We needed to head back, 4 I mistook the “track” for the “jibe” and pushed the boat in the wrong direction. Before I realized 5 mistake, it was late. Luckily, no one 6 (hurt). Only after this experience did I 7 (clear) understand the sailing phrase “turning on the wind” that I 8 (read) so many times in the textbook. I never confused a “jibe” with a “track” again! Now I often share this story 9 my students after they have made mistakes. I hope they can learn something from their mistakes and correct them instead of 10 (regret).V.
