When one thing you wanted doesn't work out, something new and good will come along. Don’t lose hope. Think and discuss 2. If something "falls upon"you, do you think it's a good thing or bad thing? I think it's a bad thing because the expression "fall upon"is used by the writer to describe failure happening to people. This suggests that when something "falls upon"you, it is usually unexpected and unpleasant, like experiencing failure. Learning to think To predict the writer's feelings, you need to consider: How did the writer feel about the failure four years ago? How does he feel about it now? What has he learnt in these years? Think and share 4. What's the writer's understanding of failure? 5. Have you ever experienced a terrible moment? Share it with the class. Yes. Last term, I tried hard for a spelling contest but failed the final. I felt awful. Then my teacher let me help make contest words. I liked it and learned a lot. A closed door can open a new one. The writer thinks that failure is a part of life but it lasts just a moment. Growing up is full of pains, but each pain can bring us gains. The key is to face challenges in the right way. Remember: Tomorrow is another day! Think and discuss Standards Performance (1 to 5 points) I can understand the writer’s pains and gains in the diaries. I can retell the writer’s diaries.
