题目:Do we learn more from finding out that we have made mistakes or from our successful actions?
引言：No man is an island and, as such, he is constantly shaped and influenced by his experiences. People learn by doing and, accordingly, learn considerably more from their mistakes than their success. For proof of this, consider examples from both science and everyday experience.
主体：“Take, by way of example, Thomas Edison. The famed American inventor rose to prominence in the late 19th century because of his successes, yes, but even he felt that these successes were the result of his many failures. He did not succeed in his work on one of his most famous inventions, the lightbulb, on his first try nor even on his hundred and first try. In fact, it took him more than 1,000 attempts to make the first incandescent bulb but, along the way, he learned quite a deal. As he himself said, I did not fail a thousand times but instead succeeded in finding a thousand ways it would not work. Thus Edison demonstrated both in thought and action how instructive mistakes can be”.
过度到结尾一般使用（(in conclusion, in the end, )这样的总结性词汇开始。之后你应该立即再次强调你的论点陈述。这对明确你的论点会起到很好的作用，同时也起到了总结正文三个要点的作用。
最后让我们一起来看以下论文结尾举例：
“In the end, then, one thing is clear: mistakes do far more to help us learn and improve than successes. As examples from both science and everyday experience can attest, if we treat each mistake not as a misstep but as a learning experience the possibilities for self-improvement are limitless”.
