Your student, Feng Guoxing V. 阅读表达 One recent weekend, I decided to learn how to make jiaozi with my grandmother. I thought it would be fun and easy at the very beginning, but soon it came to me that it wasn't as simple as it looked. At first, I didn't pay attention to the sharp(锋利的) knife while cutting vegetables. My finger got cut because of my carelessness. Luckily, it wasn't serious. Grandma was nervous, and quickly helped me clean the cut. "My poor little girl! Be careful next time!" said Grandma Softly. Through the painful lesson, I learned the hard way that safety should always come first. After that accident, I continued working with Grandma. We made the dough(面团), mixed the filling, and started shaping the dumplings. However, I kept making mistakes. Some of my dumplings were too thick, others were not properly sealed(封闭), and some even had too much filling, making them difficult to close. It was so discouraging, but Grandma kept encouraging me. Until noon, we had a plate full of dumplings - some are perfect, and some are a bit messy. Dad ate my ugliest dumpling first. "Tastes better than it looks!" he laughed. Mom encouraged me, "They're the most delicious dumplings I have ever had. I am so proud of you!" Now I understand that making jiaozi isn't just about the final product, it is about learning patience, having fun with my family, and improving through mistakes. Mistakes aren't signs of weakness. Instead, they should be viewed(看待) as stepping stones to achievements. 1. What did the writer think of making jiaozi at the very beginning?
