It was a Friday afternoon, and our biology class had started. We were learning about the human body. Our teacher, Mrs Adams, was explaining the structure of the human heart. Suddenly, Bill raised his hand. “I have a question. The adult’s heart is much bigger than the hand closed tightly(紧紧地), right?” Bill asked, his voice shaking a bit.
“Bill, you’re wrong! The heart is about the size of a fist(拳头)!” someone said from the back of the class. Some students started to laugh loudly. Bill looked embarrassed and put his hand down, feeling uncomfortable.
Mrs Adams noticed this and spoke up. “Class, that is not how we should act here,” she said in a serious voice. “Bill made a mistake, and that’s perfectly OK. Many scientists achieved success because they found things unexpectedly while doing experiments. Mistakes can also lead to great discoveries. We all make mistakes, and it’s part of learning.” She turned to Bill and smiled kindly. “Bill, if an adult’s heart is much larger than his or her fist, he or she may be ill. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for asking questions or getting something wrong. That’s how we improve ourselves and learn.”
The class became quiet, and the students who had laughed at Bill realized they were wrong and felt sorry. I could see them looking at Bill with regret, and I realized my mistake...
