数学考试的成绩发下来了，我只考了六十五分，比上次少了二十分。

The maths test results were handed back. I only got sixty-five, twenty marks less than last time.
我看着试卷上红红的分数，心里像压了一块大石头，闷闷不乐。
wǒ kàn zhe shì juàn shàng hóng hóng de fēn shù xīn lǐ xiàng yā le yí kuài dà shí tou mèn mèn bú lè
I looked at the bright red score on my paper. It felt like a big stone was pressing on my heart, and I felt gloomy.
晚饭前，我偷偷把试卷藏进书包最底下，不想让妈妈看到。
wǎn fàn qián wǒ tōu tōu bǎ shì juàn cáng jìn shū bāo zuì dǐ xia bù xiǎng ràng mā ma kàn dào
Before dinner, I secretly hid the test paper at the very bottom of my school bag, because I didn't want Mum to see it.
吃饭的时候，我一直低着头，一句话也不说，心里很不安。
chī fàn de shí hou wǒ yì zhí dī zhe tóu yí jù huà yě bù shuō xīn lǐ hěn bù ān
During dinner, I kept my head down and didn't say a single word. I felt very uneasy.
最后，我鼓起勇气拿出试卷，把实话告诉了妈妈。
zuì hòu wǒ gǔ qǐ yǒng qì ná chū shì juàn bǎ shí huà gào su le mā ma
In the end, I plucked up my courage, took out the test paper and told Mum the truth.
妈妈没有骂我，还帮我找出做错的地方，原来我粗心看错了好几道题。
mā ma méi yǒu mà wǒ hái bāng wǒ zhǎo chū zuò cuò de dì fang yuán lái wǒ cū xīn kàn cuò le hǎo jǐ dào tí
Mum didn't scold me. She even helped me find my mistakes. It turned out I had carelessly misread quite a few questions.
我们一起订了一个学习计划，每天做一页练习，做完还要细心检查。
wǒ men yì qǐ dìng le yí gè xué xí jì huà měi tiān zuò yí yè liàn xí zuò wán hái yào xì xīn jiǎn chá
Together we made a study plan: one page of practice every day, checked carefully when finished.
一个月后的考试，我考了九十分。我终于明白：诚实面对错误，才能不断进步。

In the test a month later, I got ninety. I finally understood: only by facing your mistakes honestly can you keep improving.
