“Making a mistake is only useful if you understand what went wrong.”

Write an article for a general-interest magazine aimed at young people giving your views on this statement.

Your article should explore what mistakes can teach us, and whether reflection or advice is needed for that learning to happen. You may use your own examples and ideas.

Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
