Yesterday, I went to the cinema to meet my friends John, Eason and Nancy. John was there when I arrived. “I’ve 1. got a message from Nancy,” he said. “She’s nearly here.” A few minutes later, Nancy arrived. “Hello,” she said. “Has anyone seen Eason 2. ?” “No,” said John. “It’s 3. seven o’clock. We’ll miss the start of the film!” Then Eason hurried in. “Hi! Sorry I’m late. Have we got the tickets 4. ?” “Yes,” said John. “I’ve got them 5. . Let’s go!”

Have you ever faced challenges in your life? Maybe you’ve thought, “I can’t solve this science problem,” or “I’ll never be a member of the school basketball team.” Don’t worry. Meet “yet” — a simple word to turn the impossible into the possible.
Sunshine Middle School changed its grading system (评分系统) last month, because teachers found that the traditional pass-or-fail can easily make students lose heart. If students failed, they would get a red “F” on their exam paper, and feel upset. Now, they get a “Not Yet”. This simple action changes their mindsets (心态): it’s not about failing, but being on the road to success.
Doctors call this a “growth mindset”. If students have a “growth mindset”, they might say, “I haven’t finished the report yet, but I will ask the teacher for help tomorrow.” They always look on the bright side. On the other hand, a “fixed mindset” makes people afraid of mistakes. They think, “I’m just bad at maths,” and they usually don’t want to try harder.
