Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it‘s a marathon, not a sprint. (P8, Grit,)

I do a wide range of things online. Besides doing all my schoolwork, I chat with my friends, watch films and read the daily news and other interesting articles; I also shop for various things online, such as books, computer hardware and other necessities. It’s so convenient to be able to compare the quality and prices from different online shops before I buy. I also play computer games from time to time and I even play tennis on my television screen in my living room!

Homework
So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. And that's where I'm going to end my remarks, because that's where we are. That's the work that stands before us. We need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them. We need to measure whether we've been successful, and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned. (Para.13, Grit)
Read Para.13 in “Grit”, check the pronunciation of unfamiliar words, underline the stresses and mark the pause.
Memorize Para.8 & Para.13 in “Grit”.
Listen to the 3rd paragraph in “I’m a…digital native”, tell the attitude of Joe’s parents and underline evidence.
