As teachers，we often love to encourage our students to try new things at a young age.However，I think this is a huge mistake.Learning new things at any age is important and it can help us become better.
Take myself as an example.I didn't start playing ice hockey until I was more than 40 years old.My son is a huge sports fan and he often asked me to take him to watch games between the big teams.Gradually，I fell in love with the sport，and after a few months，I decided to have a try.
To be honest，it is the hardest sport I've ever done.There was so much to learn.In addition to mastering skating skills，I also needed to learn how to pass and shoot.I saw a lot of players get on the ice and pick it up quickly and easily.But I was an exception （例外）.I was so terrible at skating but I never thought about giving up.So I took a skating training course，then joined a hockey team and practiced hard in my free time.I finally mastered the skill，though it took me a really long time.
Learning hockey has also helped me be a better teacher in some way.Being bad at hockey helps me to understand those students in my class who have difficulty in learning English.I'm not stupid—it just takes me longer to learn and practice a skill before I'm able to do it.Some students are like that too—they might need to hear an explanation （解釋） 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice.
It's good to learn new things，whether they come easily to you or with more difficulty.Maybe you didn't use the past year to improve yourself or to learn a new skill—but that's OK!It won't be late to start anything at any time.
