Po co success & failure vocabulary na maturze?

Na maturze nie wystarczy znać słowo „success" albo „failure". Trzeba umieć powiedzieć, jaki był cel, co poszło nie tak, jak zareagowałeś i czego się nauczyłeś.

Słabo: Failure is bad. → Dobrze: Last year, I failed an important test, but it taught me to work more regularly. I think failure can be useful because it helps people become more resilient.

📄 Pokaż transkrypt
Nina: Hi, Oscar. You look a bit tired. Are you okay?
Oscar: Yes, I'm fine, but I'm disappointed. I didn't win the school art competition.
Nina: I'm sorry to hear that. Did you work hard on your painting?
Oscar: Yes, I did. My goal was to create a painting about social problems in big cities. I spent two weeks on it, but I didn't get a prize.
Nina: That's a setback, but it doesn't mean you failed completely.
Oscar: I know, but at first I lost confidence. I thought my work was not good enough.
Nina: I understand. But mistakes and failure can teach us a lot. Did you get any feedback?
Oscar: Yes. My art teacher said my idea was strong, but I needed to use colours more carefully. She also said my painting could still inspire people because it shows an important issue.
Nina: That's actually useful. Art can influence society because it makes people think about other people's lives.
Oscar: True. I learned that success is not only about winning. Sometimes progress is more important than a prize.
Nina: Exactly. You are creative and determined. If you keep going, you'll improve.
Oscar: Thanks. I think I'll try again next year. This experience taught me to be more patient and resilient.
Nina: That's the right attitude. A setback can make you stronger if you learn from it.
Oscar: I agree. I didn't win, but I didn't give up. Maybe that's also a kind of success.
